Summary

The bill amends the Emergency Services Act to list landslides among the disasters that can justify a state of emergency or a local emergency. It also clarifies that a local emergency declared for a power de‑energization event does not alter utility cost‑recovery rules. This would let officials mobilize mutual‑aid resources more quickly when landslides threaten safety and property.
