Whose bill is it when the fire spares the house but poisons the air? California just made that call

California wildfire survivors gain new protections with the Smoke Damage Recovery Act. This legislation establishes the nation's first science-based framework for smoke damage assessment. Insurers will now cover testing and restoration costs for affected homes. The bill also extends additional living expense coverage for displaced families. This new law aims to hold insurance companies more accountable for wildfire impacts.
