Summary

AB 441 keeps the Office of Wildfire Technology Research and Development and the statewide wildfire mitigation assistance program in force longer than originally scheduled. It adds reporting duties and an advisory board to guide technology research, and pushes the repeal dates to 2033 for the office and 2031 for the mitigation program. The changes aim to improve California’s ability to prevent and suppress wildfires.
