NEW STATE INSURANCE PARTNERSHIP TO MAKE WILDFIRE INSURANCE MORE AFFORDABLE AND INCREASE WILDFIRE SAFETY STANDARDS

This partnership is the latest step to enact regulatory and administrative actions that Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara announced on September 16, 2020, using his existing regulatory authority under voter-approved Proposition 103 to protect the state’s insurance market.
