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.

Bring up to three 35-pound boxes of documents for safe, secure on-site shredding.
Additionally, to help shred hunger, nonperishable food will be accepted at the events for local food banks.
The shred event will take place in Lakeport from 9 to 11 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 23, at the Savings Bank branch, 290 S. Main St.
Hours and number of customers accommodated may be limited to truck capacity.
Identity theft is a serious crime that can wreak havoc with your finances, credit history, reputation, and can take time, money and patience to resolve.
Shredding confidential financial documents and paperwork is one way to deter criminals from stealing personal information.
Savings Bank also encourages customers to protect their identity by switching from paper account statements to eStatements.
With eStatements, customers reduce the risk of confidential account information getting into the wrong hands through tampering of mail or paper records that are stored at home.
Savings Bank representatives will be available at the shred events to supply information about preventing identity theft and what to do if your identity is stolen.
