Summary

The bill would make electric utilities work with state agencies and community groups to develop publicly available plans that help people with access and functional needs during de‑energization events. It also expands the annual reliability reports utilities must publish, adds new post‑shutoff reporting requirements, and gives the Public Utilities Commission authority to require remediation or additional analysis. The goal is to improve safety, transparency, and equity in how power outages are managed.
