SB678 aims to expedite fire prevention projects by limiting economic hardship for plaintiffs in civil actions challenging such projects.

SB678 adds a section to the California Code of Civil Procedure to address challenges in fire prevention projects. It allows courts to consider economic hardship when requiring plaintiffs to provide security for costs and damages in civil actions related to fire prevention activities. The liability for costs and damages is capped at $500,000. The bill aims to reduce wildfire risks by ensuring projects are not unduly delayed by litigation.
