California AB300 mandates the State Fire Marshal to periodically review and revise fire hazard severity zones based on statewide criteria.

California AB300 requires the State Fire Marshal to review and revise fire hazard severity zones every eight years. These zones, which include moderate, high, and very high fire hazard areas, are based on factors like fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and wind patterns. The State Fire Marshal must identify these zones using consistent statewide criteria and may revise or repeal zones as necessary. Revisions or repeals can also be petitioned under certain government code sections.
