>> california homeowners are watching their insurance bills skyrocket due to wildfires other disasters. some insurance companies have also stopped offering coverage in certain areas so that lawmakers are considering a new bill to help protect homeowners from losing coverage to talk about this is state sen josh becker from menlo park. thank you so much for joining us. thanks for having me. so what does a homeowner need to know about your bill and how it will impact them? >> but this is really saying 2 things. first of all, this is a crisis i hear about all the time. people who are losing coverage and retaining coverage but having pigs or didn't race. and this really about saying we are now doing the homework as a state and individuals are doing the homework, hardening their own homes and we should see benefit from that. and so it's

requiring insurance companies to include in their underwriting criteria under unready criterion during this models. all that's work that's being done. 3.7 billion dollars of far as treatment that cut that state is spending. what individuals are spending in underwriting models. >> so the american property casualty in cern's up association says that homeowners. that already do this. the companies have policies in place that that implement this. is that true? >> we're not seeing yet truly not seeing it any kind of scale. and if they are that they should be supporting this bill, they're not at the moment. so i think this is going to really be the next step against recognizing i think for the first time we really have a comprehensive a plan. i mentioned we're treating up to a million acres a year. we set 3.7 billion dollars with increased

cal-fire. stunning number 2. number 3 really embraced aerial resources and it was our technology like no other. state has. and that's why last couple years we had the same number of wildfires has 2021. but very acres burned. so we want to make sure they're taking this into account and there are underweight models. that's what that does about. >> so someone who is a homeowner and they hear this, they're like, well, when with this go into effect where is the bill stand right now in the state lot process. >> be front of the insurance committee next week. that's a really key, a hurdle and then has to through the process will go to the senate floor. so this is that a yearlong process. and by the way, the same time the insurance commissioner is doing some tremendous work. and our church air senator rubio. so there's some other things going on for a complimentary to this that i think will bring insurance back. but i think that everyone realizes it or it may that they would leave. people thought maybe they were bluffing. but we have seen companies leave. we

have seen the real issues to their models. and so we have to make sure you can work for them and then also make sure, but that people at the end the day see the benefit actually get coverage. and it's affordable coverage. what do you make of this whole? >> process of insurance companies either jacking up rates so much that they really become unaffordable or even just saying, you know, we can't even cover you at all. like, where does that leave a person who whose home is in a wild fire prone area? >> well, very difficult. that's why we're trying to address it has to be a comprehensive solution, worse or say to them they were going make some changes. and this is and not my bill is working. trust commissioners to it saying, hey, you can do for one looking modeling other things that we didn't allow before. but we're trying to have to cover more people. so that's happening on the one hand. and i had my bill veeck end complementary to that to say, hey, recognize, always investment. and if you're if you put this in your u.s. models and shows us not helping great, then spend the money elsewhere. but the point is we're spending a lot of money and others are quite

safe nature conservancy and willis towers watson, a sure to show that this can lower rates 40. they can say 40 to 60% when regions and cities do what they can do, which is to prepare their areas right to that first treatment and heart of the home. so there are areas we don't make sure that's reflected ultimately in the race. >> well, definitely let us know how this progresses. we're interested to hear a lot of people are impacted by this state. senator josh becker, we appreciate your time. thanks for having me. all right. let's talk about our forecast now. we're looking out here in san francisco seeing how the city is doing on this sunny day pilots here so we can talk about what's going on and all and all it's warm out there. yeah, it's a really beautiful day. it is no doubt about it. not just here, but across the entire state of california. 72 in los angeles right now. 78 in bakersfield. you see sacramento at 76 degrees is just a really >> lovely california day. here's a live look at stormtracker 4. you can see

where our high pressure has migrated a little bit to the south here. and that is allowing some clouds to come over the top of the ridge. but even so we've got some beautiful blue skies out there. it's just been lovely and temperatures reflect that. 78 in san jose, 80 degrees in fremont. check that out. 79 in dublin, 81 in pittsburgh, berkeley, 71. yes, surprises. you are looking at these numbers. go up as i watched this happened in the last 30 minutes or so. 76 right now in petaluma. so what's happening is high pressure is still in control, even though it's migrated to the south a little bit. and over the next few days will notice me looking at iso thurmes these indicate temperature. right? so the warmer temperatures are more the reds and the oranges cooler. the blues and greens. notice that high pressure kind of migrates over a little bit. but you don't see anything dramatic here. we get very zone on meeting that's very flat. and we don't see anything kind of bumping that out of the way. so we just get little variations in temperature taking you all through the weekend. you see some low pressure kind of hanging out up here. but it doesn't really intrude too much. and so that's why we're not going to see that much

variation in temperature. so if we take berkeley is an example looking out for low 70's today. same story tomorrow. we cool down a touch on friday, but then we rebuild a little bit. we just really kind of stay in that above average, though, right through the weekend. what does that mean? it means for you and i if we are making plans to be outdoors this weekend, it's going to be terrific. so i think for a lot of you looking for that really nice weekend, you can go hiking or biking or maybe take a ride somewhere. it's going to be really spectacular weather for you to do that again. just a few clouds here and there. but other than that, we kind of stick with this until we get to about tuesday. that's when the pattern change is going to come in and it looks like we knock those temperatures down. not just to average but slightly below average. so enjoy the next 5 days or so. workers who played the characters at disneyland are now one step closer to joining a union earlier today. the president of the actors. >> equity association announced that a super-majority of disney's 1700 live performers have opted to join this alliance
