AB 1467: Residential property insurance: tree fire risks.

<p>This bill would exempt residential property insurance policyholders from state and local laws, ordinances, fees, and fines associated with tree removal 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.</p> <p>The exemption would be limited to cases where the insurer and forestry department confirm the tree poses a fire risk, and the policyholder would still be required to maintain 100 feet of defensible space around their structure.</p> <p>The bill aims to reduce the burden on property owners in wildfire-prone areas by allowing them to remove trees identified as fire risks without incurring additional costs and penalties.</p>
