HB 3402 mandates that electric utilities develop wildfire mitigation plans and offers legal protections to companies that comply. The bill allows utilities to self-insure against wildfire-related liabilities and establishes criteria for regulatory approval of such plans. It provides an affirmative defense for utilities against liability in cases where they followed an approved mitigation plan unless their actions were found to be reckless or grossly negligent​.
