California Wildfire Insurance Stirs Up Heat Between Industry And State Lawmakers

California wildfire insurance was a hot topic, so to speak, between insurers and the State Insurance Committee. The committee is chaired by Senator Steve Glazer (D), widely considered to be the most moderate senator in the upper house.The Senate Insurance Committee voted on to bills that will dictate the future of wildfire coverage. The vote took place on Friday for the two bills. These bills were designed to make significant changes to the way California wildfire insurance is covered for homeowners by insurers. The measures were proposed as a result of the devastation left behind by last year’s brushfire season.
