A vote is expected on a bill to support survivors of wildfires. This comes after a proposal by the governor was blocked. The proposal would have changed how electric companies are held financially responsible for fires started by their equipment.

The governor made a last-minute compromise with lawmakers, which will provide some benefits to survivors, such as faster payment. However, the governor believes this compromise does not go far enough in addressing the issue of who pays for fires caused by utility equipment.

Further details on the bill and the compromise are available from the source.
