Limiting Liability for Critical Infrastructure Manufacturers in Wildfire Incidents.

This law grants immunity to manufacturers of essential infrastructure equipment (like power grid components) from lawsuits related to losses caused by wildfires. This means citizens who suffer damage from wildfires potentially started by this equipment will face significant difficulty in seeking compensation from the manufacturer. The only exception is if intentional misconduct in design or production can be proven.
Key points
Manufacturers of critical infrastructure equipment are granted legal immunity from lawsuits concerning wildfire-related damages under Federal and State law.
Citizens affected by wildfires can only sue the manufacturer if they can prove willful misconduct in the equipment's design or production.
