LOS ANGELES — Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara announced an impending action to protect communities affected by the Mountain Fire in Ventura County following Governor Newsom’s emergency declaration. Under state law, once the fire’s perimeter is determined, Commissioner Lara will issue a Bulletin identifying areas in the immediate vicinity of the fires that will be protected for one-year from homeowners’ insurance non-renewal or cancellation due to wildfire risk. Thus far in 2024, approximately 1 million policies are protected for one year because of Commissioner Lara’s actions.
