Staff: wildfire-liability proposal did not pass; counties see mixed budget outcomes
Summary
County staff reported the legislature adjourned after agreeing to an end-of-session budget package while rejecting the governor’s wildfire liability package (SB 492); staff also summarized allocations from Proposition 4 and greenhouse gas funds relevant to county projects.
Jean summarized the state legislative wrap-up and told the committee the governor's wildfire-liability proposal did not move forward. "No wildfire package moved forward, and the legislature went ahead and adjourned on the 1st," she said, noting late-session frustration among lawmakers and that legislative leaders limited changes to the state's wildfire relief fund.
Jean said the final budget included allocations of Proposition 4 bond proceeds and greenhouse gas reduction funds and highlighted several county-specific items that made the end-of-session package. Staff also outlined where remaining questions exist and which allocations require follow-up with the county’s legislative contacts.
