California AB1964 mandates the State Fire Marshal to develop home hardening standards and compile a report on homes in fire hazard zones.

California AB1964 requires the Office of the State Fire Marshal to create home hardening standards by January 1, 2028. These standards will assess whether homes are adequately fortified to mitigate fire risks during ember showers or direct flame exposure. By January 1, 2030, the Fire Marshal must compile a report detailing the number of homes in moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones, along with estimates of those needing additional hardening. The completed report will be published online and submitted to the Legislature by July 1, 2030.
