California’s New Wildfire Recovery Laws | Los Angeles News

Governor Newsom just signed groundbreaking wildfire recovery laws designed to give homeowners real relief after devastating fires like Eaton and Palisades. These rules mandate insurers cover smoke damage testing and cleanup—even for homes untouched by flames—and make mortgage forbearance permanent for disaster victims. Developed with input from survivors, the legislation sets national standards for safety inspections, including lead and asbestos remediation, and protects living expense coverage until homes are safe to re-enter. With over 13,000 smoke-damage claims alone from last year’s fires, this is California’s first enforceable framework for post-fire recovery—and a powerful model for the nation.
