Dodd said the vote is an important step toward ensuring our communities have adequate resources to respond during power shutoffs.
“Clearly, the wildfire threat is not going away. And as we’ve seen recently, utility companies continue to employ this preventative measure. I thank fellow legislators for seeing the value in this commonsense proposal,” Dodd said.
Senate Bill 52 follows a series of de-energizations from PG&E over the past two years that were intended to prevent fallen power lines and damaged equipment from sparking fires. It makes clear that such public safety power shutoffs are eligible for official emergency declarations, freeing financial assistance for local government under the Emergency Services Act.
SB 52 is supported by Napa County, California Fire Chiefs Association, Fire Districts Association of California, Regional Council of Rural Counties, Disability Rights California and the California Association of Public Authorities.
The bill passed the full Assembly today with overwhelming bipartisan support after previously being approved by the Senate. It heads to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office following Senate concurrence.
“While a power shutoff may be a necessary tool to prevent wildfires, the disruption to people's lives and costs to local government cannot be ignored,” said Supervisor Diane Dillon, who represents the majority of rural Napa County. “Napa County is honored to sponsor this bill, which will clarify a power shutoff constitutes a local emergency, and thanks Sen. Dodd for his leadership getting it to the governor's desk.”
Dodd represents the Third 3rd Senate District, which includes all or portions of Napa, Yolo, Sonoma, Solano, Sacramento and Contra Costa counties.

This endeavor requires a series of interactions with the public to formulate the features and design we will develop.
The committee is in the first stage of the application process, which is to gather community input through surveys and then public meetings.
Community input is critical to this process and greatly increases the committee’s chance of success in this competitive application process.
The group asks community members to take a few minutes to complete the survey.
The survey can be found here in English and here in Spanish.
