“SB 1076 would have created a first-of-its-kind pilot program to reduce insurance risk and guarantee insurance coverage for homeowners who made their properties fire-safe. I’m disappointed this bill died in committee. Fire survivors deserved better.” @senatorsrp

SB 1076 fell short by one vote! Sen Laura Richardson said: “Last I heard, in the United States, we don’t require any company to do anything. ... That’s the difference between capitalism and communism, frankly.” Insurance for Fire-Safe Communities—Communism or Common Sense?❤️‍🔥

Disappointing. SB 1076 fell one vote short in the Senate Insurance Committee. Sen Laura Richardson & @SenSusanRubio sided with insurance companies against communities to kill SB 1076 and block insurance coverage for fire-safe homes. consumerwatchdog.org/insurance/legi…
