Electricity: deenergization events: report: compensation.

Summary

The bill would force investor‑owned electric companies to automatically credit customers $30 for every 24‑hour period they lose power due to a de‑energization event, and to file detailed outage reports with the Public Utilities Commission. It also adds compensation procedures to the wildfire‑mitigation plans of locally owned utilities and allows the commission to fine utilities, directing those fine revenues to the customer credits. The measure failed to pass.
