LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law requires the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection to identify areas of the state as very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas.
This bill would provide that it is the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would prohibit a company that provides a navigation application from directing traffic within a one-mile radius of those very high fire hazard severity zones.
