California Assembly blocks wildfire liability reform as utilities push back
TL;DR Summary
California's Assembly refused to vote on Gov. Newsom's wildfire-liability plan, effectively killing the compromise after opposition from PG&E and Southern California Edison; the measure would have capped some attorney fees and CEO bonuses but would not limit insurers' subrogation rights, a detail that drew investor relief for the utilities as lawmakers left the issue unresolved and signaled potential future action.
