Summary

The bill reduces the Governor’s appointments to nine members and adds representatives from the State Fire Marshal, Department of Insurance, Strategic Growth Council and California Building Standards Commission, keeping the commission at 15 members. It raises the quorum to nine members, requires at least three regular meetings a year, and obligates the commission to work with the new agencies and issue annual reports on seismic safety. These changes are intended to broaden expertise and improve coordination on earthquake preparedness through 2030.
