WILDFIRE MITIGATION & LIABILITY ACT

Summary

The bill obligates electric utilities to develop detailed wildfire mitigation plans, submit them to the state public utilities commission for approval, and obtain a certificate of compliance after showing they follow the plan. It sets deadlines for commission review, outlines required plan contents, and limits the commission’s and state’s monetary liability in related lawsuits. The measure aims to reduce utility‑caused wildfires and clarify cost‑recovery and legal responsibilities.
