INSURANCE DROPS BANNED AS LA BURNS: CALIFORNIA STEPS IN

California just told insurers: “Not so fast.”

A one-year ban now prevents them from canceling or refusing to renew home policies in fire-ravaged LA neighborhoods.

With 29,000+ acres burned and $150B in total losses looming, Commissioner Ricardo Lara said:

“People don’t need the added stress of finding new insurance right now.”

Translation: “You’re not ditching homeowners in their worst moments.”
