California SB256 mandates wildfire mitigation plans for electrical corporations and local utilities to minimize wildfire risks.

California SB256 requires electrical corporations and local publicly owned electric utilities to prepare and submit wildfire mitigation plans annually to the California Wildfire Safety Advisory Board. These plans must include strategies to minimize wildfire risks, such as undergrounding electrical distribution infrastructure, vegetation management, and inspections of electrical infrastructure. The plans must also consider the impacts on critical first responders, health and communication infrastructure, and customers who rely on medical baseline allowances.
