Senate Bill 5928 would require insurance companies, when they use third-party wildfire risk scores in home insurance, to disclose the wildfire risk score, explain the factors behind the score, and provide consumers with simple language steps to improve their score. It will also allow property owners to appeal decisions where they have completed mitigation work since the last assessment or have identified obvious inaccuracies in the assessment. The bill is not yet final law; It now moves to the Washington House of Representatives for consideration, meaning key implementation details, including timing, remain undecided.
