California state senators introduced a series of 13 bills aimed at wildfire recovery to assist renters, boost firefighter staffing, and support displaced students. Senate Pro Tem Mike McGuire highlighted the urgent need for these measures following significant wildfires in Los Angeles. The proposed legislation includes provisions to combat price-gouging in temporary housing and to provide mortgage relief for affected tenants. Lawmakers aim to expedite the legislative process, pushing for swift action to respond to the crisis faced by communities ravaged by disasters.
"This is one of the toughest times that the city and county of L.A. have seen in almost a century," Senate Pro Tem Mike McGuire said, emphasizing the severity of the situation.
Sen. Ben Allen stated the legislation aims at "lowering the chances of a disaster like this happening again and also giving them the relief that they so deeply deserve."
