6:17 am

6:21 am
liz: welcome back. the abc 7 i team is looking into a state regulation that is supposed to help california access wildfire insurance. many residents across the bay area have been dropped by their insurance providers and they are finding the states alternative plan is not as comprehensive as they hoped. stephanie sierra is pushing the state's insurance commissioner for answers. stephanie: after their beloved
6:22 am
ranch survived the 2020 glass fire that ripped through napa county, mark and elma o'brien are facing another hazard that has left their property with a different burn. >> there is no questions. they just came back and said, "you are done." stephanie: their insurance provider dropped them as the company announced in january they are pulling out of the state for certain categories of homes in the regulated insurance market. >> we were left to scramble and we have been trying to find an alternate insurance. i went to probably three or four different carriers and got turned down. stephanie: weeks go by, they tried farmers, state farm, and aaa with no luck. >> they go, what is your address? they type it in, you hear the pause, and they say we are not insuring in that area. stephanie: the o'briens have yet to file a claim. since the glass fire tore through their neighborhood, burning down 60 homes on their street, they have made investments to reduce their wildfire risk, something known
6:23 am
as hardening your home, adding things like vulcan vents, sprinklers on the roof and cleared out five feet of their structure. >> we trimmed all the trees off of the house, we put hardscape in our entry. stephanie: the same story with their neighbor, harriet buckwaldren. >> my husband was cutting down trees for about six weeks straight, exhausting work. spent another $4500 hiring someone to do the trees we could not do. we had cal fire do an inspection. an local fire company doing hour an inspection. stephanie: buckwalter says she contacted 25 different providers. but -- >> none of them were providing policies in our area. >> we are continuing to push the envelope when it comes to forcing insurance companies to be accessible. stephanie: in february, the california insurance commissioner proposed a regulation that aims to prevent this. >> that will mandate 100% of all insurance companies have to give california consumers discounts for hardening their home. it is the only way we will be able to bring down the risk so
6:24 am
that californians can keep their insurance, keep it affordable. stephanie: if approved, it will go into effect by the end of the year, bringing benefits aside from mandating discounts like requiring that insurance companies provide consumers their property's risk score. and the ability to appeal that score. the reality is not as pretty as the press release. >> it is a big loophole. stephanie: people like them are still not getting insured. >> that is a huge loophole that can swallow its promises. stephanie: the executive director of consumer watchdog says, while the regulation sounds good on paper, it does not tell the whole story. >> there are two parts of the insurance transaction. one, insurance companies decide if they will sell you coverage, and second, they decide what price they will charge you. this regulation addresses price, which is important to all of us, but it does not address the sales question, whether or not you will get a policy at all.
6:25 am
stephanie: in other words, insurance companies are not required to consider mitigation steps when deciding whether to sell a consumer a policy. so residents living in areas with high fire risk may be left unprotected. even the state's former insurance commissioner was not renewed by his carrier, despite spending tens of thousands of dollars on mitigation, according to an op-ed published in the l.a. times. just like these families. >> i don't know of anybody who has been able to get insurance. stephanie: both say they are only left with one real option. >> it looks like we will have to go through the california fair plan. stephanie: the california fair plan is the insurer of last resort, providing access to fire coverage for california homeowners unable to find insurance in the traditional marketplace. >> it is externally confusing. stephanie: and it is not cheap. >> at least double what we paid before with less coverage. stephanie: our -- >> our coverages about 3.5 times more than what we had before and it is also with a $20,000 deductible.
6:26 am
stephanie: without the deductible, buckwalter says the california fair plan would have been around seven times more expensive than her existing policy. >> the plan is to be affordable and available for every single californian that needs it. stephanie: problem is it is not affordable now and it is not comprehensive. what are you doing to change that? >> what we need to do is to provide a comprehensive policy option that currently does not exist in the fair plan, so that people are not having to pay the extraordinary amount of administrative fees that only adds to the cost. stephanie: eliminating administrative fees is one step but consumer advocates argue unless the regulation is amended, the loophole leaves the most vulnerable communities. >> we are working really hard. stephanie: paying the price. >> it is happening and it is unfortunate. liz: that was stephanie sierra reporting for the i-team. consumer watchdog, along with several other consumer organizations, sent several letters calling on the commissioner to use his
6:27 am
authority to close this loophole but the department of insurance rejects these claims, adding the regulation will still require insurance companies to recognize and rewasurs mitigation stilome abc7 morning, dacted a authorizing the search on former president trump's mar-a-lago home that is not public. -- now public. details on the heavily redacted documents taken by fbi officials. businesses back at san francisco's ferry building in a big way. we look into what is driving the we look into what is driving the post-pandemic what's the difference between prop 26 and prop 27? 26? not one dime to get people off the streets and into housing 27 generates hundreds of million to help solve homelessness. the choice is clear yes on prop 27.
