Summary of Request:
California State Association of Counties (CSAC), along with a coalition of local government associations, sent a letter to the Governor, legislative leaders, and conference committee members expressing “collective concern about potential efforts to revise constitutional protections under ‘inverse condemnation’ laws and long-standing liability statutes related to the causes of wildfires.” Inverse Condemnation is a legal concept that entitles property owners to just compensation if their property is damaged by a public use. Supervisor Carre Brown requests Mendocino County joins CSAC in sending a letter opposing changes to inverse condemnation liability.
