AB 1934: State Fire Marshal: home hardening certification program implementation plan.

The bill aims to improve fire safety in California by developing an implementation plan for a home hardening certification program. This program will identify measures that can be voluntarily implemented during renovation or property improvement projects to reduce the risk of loss during a fire. The plan will provide recommendations for home hardening measures, including defensible space, and will help bring existing building stock into alignment with state building standards for wildland-urban interface areas. The state fire marshal's wildfire mitigation advisory committee will be responsible for developing the plan and providing a report to legislative committees by January 1, 2028. The plan will be developed with the goal of substantially reducing the risk of loss during a fire.
