Summary

The bill requires the State Fire Marshal to create online training on wildfire‑safe building standards, certify contractors who complete the training, and maintain a list of approved building products. It also defines “qualified entities” such as counties, conservation groups and foresters, and lets them help the fire department assess and educate homeowners about defensible space and home hardening. The goal is to improve wildfire safety for residents and reduce fire‑department workload.
