LA Mayor Karen Bass aims to streamline rebuilding after wildfires with executive order

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has issued an executive order to streamline processes for rebuilding homes and clearing debris in the wake of devastating wildfires, following up on a similar order signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Bass signed the order late Monday night to help residents in Pacific Palisades and other city areas rebuild homes lost in the ongoing fires and lay the foundations for businesses to recover as well, according to her office.

The mayor also updated the local emergency declaration for similar purposes.
