California Assembly stalls wildfire liability reform as Gov. Newsom warns of incomplete measures

政治

The California Assembly voted not to advance a wildfire-liability reform bill, saying the proposals fell short, while Governor Gavin Newsom warned that the partial measures would not resolve the state's fire crisis. Governor Gavin Newsom had earlier urged lawmakers to cap the amount utilities must pay for wildfire damages, arguing it would preserve rate stability.

State legislators later rejected his effort to stop insurers from recouping losses from utility-caused wildfires. After protests, Newsom and lawmakers reached a late-night agreement that abandoned the plan to shift liability onto insurers and instead imposed limits on attorney fees and curbed hedge-fund profits from claims.
