Summary

The bill forces insurance companies to act quickly on fire and residential property claims: they must acknowledge a claim within 15 days, decide to accept or deny it within 40 days, and pay any approved amount within 30 days. It also clarifies how actual cash value and replacement‑cost policies are calculated and limits insurers from adding extra deadlines, especially during emergencies. The rules apply to anyone holding fire or home insurance in California.
