Summary

The law requires cities and counties to include an environmental‑justice component in their general plans that identifies disadvantaged communities and sets related goals. It also creates new fire‑safety measures, including a state‑run reporting system for defensible‑space checks, training for third‑party assessors, and outreach requirements. The changes aim to better protect vulnerable neighborhoods from wildfire, flood, and seismic hazards.
