AB 1457: General plan: environmental justice element: disadvantaged communities.

The bill aims to extend a statewide program that allows trained individuals and entities to support fire protection efforts. This program is designed to provide defensible space and home hardening assessments and education. The program will continue indefinitely, and the training requirements will be updated to include a "home ignition zone/defensible space inspector" course plan. This will ensure that trained individuals can conduct home ignition zone inspections. The program will also utilize data collected by trained individuals to direct inspection and enforcement resources.
