Northern California lawmakers were successful ensuring the measure included provisions to apply pressure on embattled Pacific Gas and Electric Co. for 2017 and 2018 fire victims, who continue pursuing their liability claims with the bankruptcy judge handling the utility's Chapter 11 case. The state's largest utility sought bankruptcy protection in January, citing an estimated $30 billion in liabilities from blazes the past two years. They include the 2017 Tubbs fire that devastated parts of Sonoma County and the Camp fire last year that killed 85 people and torched Paradise in Butte County. The fire last year is the deadliest in California history.
