Limiting Liability for Critical Infrastructure Manufacturers in Wildfire Incidents

This new act aims to protect manufacturers of essential infrastructure components, like power grids or telecommunication networks, from lawsuits seeking damages caused by wildfires. This means these companies will face fewer costs related to wildfires, unless willful misconduct in design or production is proven. This could impact the availability and cost of insurance for citizens in wildfire-prone areas.
Key points
Manufacturers of critical infrastructure (e.g., power grids) will be immune from liability for claims resulting from wildfire incidents.
This immunity does not apply if willful misconduct in the design or production of equipment is proven.
The goal is to strengthen and maintain secure infrastructure, which may affect service stability but also citizens' ability to seek compensation for damages.
