AB 2700 drew extended support from wildfire survivors during an Assembly Appropriations Committee hearing on May 13, but the panel did not record a vote on the bill in the excerpted record.
The measure was described in committee materials as a utility-affordability and wildfire-victim compensation bill. According to the hearing summary, Assembly members discussed it in relation to a proposed 30% utility-rate reduction target, a 2025 CPUC report on rate reduction options and wildfire compensation issues involving PG&E.
Several wildfire survivors from Paradise, the Camp Fire and the Tubbs Fire spoke in support, the committee summary said. One speaker also said the Paradise town council had passed a resolution backing AB 2700.
The hearing excerpt does not show the bill’s full text, final committee disposition or any later vote. It also does not make clear whether the 30% rate-reduction target appears in the bill language itself or in committee discussion.
