reduce fire dangers on their property, but it's what the new regulations don't do that is drawing controversy. john campo says he's done everything possible to reduce fire danger around his home in san rafael. he's followed the recommendation of the fire department and reduced his brush even put in a fire retardant roof. yet his insurance company told him it would not renew his fire insurance due to the high fire risk, you know ethic consumer. i just i feel betrayed. um by the insurance industry new regulations from insurance commissioner ricardo lara would mandate insurance companies give homeowners discounts for taking preventative measures. it would also require those companies to disclose your fire risk score and allow you to appeal that decision any bach of the consumer group united policyholders believes. the new regulations will lead to more renewals and lower prices. we don't want insurance

companies overcharging people, you know, if people have actually taken steps that makes them a better risk than then if the insurance company is charging in the same price that they were charging and before they made those improvements then they are collecting and excessive rate carmen ballber of consumer watchdog agrees at lower prices. it's a good thing and believes the regulations will do just that but she fears it does nothing to reduce non-renewal if i go to an insurance company and it refuses to sell insurance to me. it doesn't matter. what the price is i can't pay it. it's not available at any cost insurance companies declined to renew more than 200,000 homeowners in california over a one-year period in the latest figures available from the department of insurance. bach believes that's because the insurance companies are nervous about fire rest the only way to really get their confidence back in competing for to sell home

insurance in california is to reduce the risk. i can guarantee you that non-renewals will continue to go up in the california insurance market under this rule. it does nothing to address that problem. approval from the office of administrative law for the regulations. it's expected within a month. there are no firm dates have to win any discounted rates would take effect. we will keep track of that. all right. thank you michael. sure. over budget and behind schedule we've been waiting for years for san francisco central subway to open today. some top officials got a look at the trains. when will it open for the rest of us?
