California · Senate · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified March 3, 2026

What SB 292 does, verified March 3, 2026

This bill aims to improve wildfire mitigation and reliability in the electrical distribution system. Electrical corporations must work with state agencies and community organizations to develop a plan to support people with disabilities during deenergization events. They must also prepare a post-deenergization event report, which will be filed, served, distributed, and published. The Public Utilities Commission will review the report by January 1, 2027, and may revise its policies and procedures to enhance safety and reliability. Local publicly owned electric utilities must also prepare annual reliability reports, which must include certain information and be kept confidential to protect electrical system security.
