CA AB1795

Requires the California Environmental Protection Agency to develop minimum sampling, testing, and chemical screening standards for smoke-damaged residential properties by June 30, 2027, with different requirements based on distance from the fire perimeter (high-impact within 6 miles, moderate 6-12 miles, low beyond 12 miles)

Establishes mandatory training and certification requirements by January 1, 2028 for industrial hygienists, restoration professionals, laboratories, insurance adjusters, and public adjusters who inspect, evaluate, test, or restore smoke-damaged properties

Prohibits insurers from terminating additional living expense coverage for smoke damage claims until the property has been cleared for habitation, and requires insurers to pay actual cash value within 30 days of inspection and replacement cost within 15 days of receiving a contractor's contract

Creates rebuttable presumptions for smoke damage classification based on property location relative to the fire perimeter, with properties in high-impact zones presumed to have significant smoke damage exposure

Creates the Wildfire Remediation Certification and Training Fund in the State Treasury, funded by certification fees, to cover administrative and enforcement costs of the training requirements
