With Clock Ticking, California Lawmakers Reject Key Parts of Newsom’s Wildfire Plan

Lawmakers are rejecting several key parts of Gov. Gavin Newsom's controversial wildfire proposals with only six days remaining in the legislative session. Lawmakers oppose suggestions that would limit how much for-profit utility companies must pay after causing a fire. These rejected proposals include limits on survivor compensation, curbing insurance reimbursements for home payouts, and limiting local government recoupment for incinerated infrastructure.
