California AB1934 establishes a home hardening certification program to reduce fire risks.

California AB1934 amends the Health and Safety Code to mandate the Office of the State Fire Marshal to create a home hardening certification program. This program will identify home hardening measures to reduce fire risks. The Wildfire Mitigation Advisory Committee will develop an implementation plan for this program, including multiple tiers of certification and recommendations for emergency power backup. The certification program must align with nationally recognized standards or actuarial findings. Contractors involved in wildfire resiliency efforts can also be certified.
