 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
 2025–2026 REGULAR SESSION

 Assembly Bill

No. 1467

Introduced by Assembly Member Hoover

February 21, 2025

 An act to add Section 2034 to the Insurance Code, relating to insurance. 

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1467, as introduced, Hoover.
 Residential property insurance: tree fire risks. 

Existing law generally regulates classes of insurance, including residential fire and property insurance. Existing law defines the measure of indemnity for a loss under a property insurance policy. Existing law requires a person who controls a building or structure in, upon, or adjoining a specified wildfire-prone area to, among other things, maintain 100 feet of defensible space around the structure.

This bill would exempt a residential property insurance policyholder from state and local laws, ordinances, fees, and fines associated with the removal of a tree if their insurer identifies the tree as a fire risk and the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection confirms that the tree is a fire risk.
