Governor signs mortgage relief bills for L.A. County and state wildfire victims

7 fires up to 12 months of mortgage relief. “Wildfire recovery does not end when the flames are extinguished,” Harabedian said in a statement. “Unfortunately we know that climate change will make natural disasters more frequent and severe throughout California.” A bill offering one year of mortgage relief to victims of the January wildfires was signed by Gov. Months later, he signed AB 238 , a Harabedian bill that provided for 12 months of mortgage relief and banned late fees, foreclosures and negative reports to credit bureaus for homeowners who receive it.
