SR 61 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to building resiliency.

Senate Resolution 61 expresses the California Senate's support for improving building resiliency to reduce risks from wildfires and other climate-related hazards. It encourages the adoption of noncombustible materials and resilient construction practices in high-risk areas, particularly in Wildland-Urban Interface zones. The resolution urges state agencies like the Building Standards Commission and Department of Insurance to review and update building codes and policies to enhance safety and reduce economic losses from disasters. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but formally declares legislative support for these measures.
