What is HB 0048 and how will it impact our homes? Homeowners in Utah have been grappling with skyrocketing insurance rates, with premiums increasing by 20% over the past year. Some residents, particularly those in areas deemed wildfire-prone, have even been dropped by their insurance providers. A new bill, HB 48, sponsored by State Rep. Casey Snider, aims to address these issues by redefining wildfire risk zones with a state-specific mapping system. HB 48 offers a pathway to reduce wildfire exposure for homeowners genuinely at risk. The bill encourages residents to implement fire mitigation measures, such as clearing vegetation or using fire-resistant materials and rewards them with potential insurance credits.
