Wildfire and Forest Resilience Task Force: FAIR Plan policies: wildland-urban interface.

Introduced Feb 18, 2026Marie Alvarado-Gil (R-CA)3 cosponsors

Summary

The California FAIR Plan Association is a joint reinsurance association in which all insurers licensed to write basic property insurance participate in administering a program for the equitable apportionment of basic property insurance for persons who are unable to obtain that coverage through normal channels. Existing law requires the Wildfire and Forest Resilience Task Force to develop a comprehensive implementation strategy to track and ensure the achievement of the goals and key actions identified in the state's Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan, as provided. Existing law requires, on or before March 1, 2026, and every 5 years thereafter, the task force to update the action plan. This bill would require the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, on or before June 30, 2027, and in consultation with the Department of Insurance and the California FAIR Plan Association, to make recommendations to prioritize those state efforts to reduce wildfire hazards in the wildland-urban interface identified in the action plan for ZIP codes that have seen the largest increases in FAIR Plan policies sold since 2019.
