📰 News we're reading

• California Passes Nation's First Insurance Requirements for Smoke Damage Claims (lmtonline.com) — New state laws responding to the Palisades and Altadena fires will set first-in-the-nation standards for smoke-damage insurance claims and expand mortgage forbearance for wildfire survivors. For Altadena-area homeowners, that means clearer rules on cleanup, stronger timelines for insurers, and more flexibility if a fire leaves your home uninhabitable, as California pushes carriers to pay claims more fairly and quickly.
