A Message from Senator Bill Dodd
Dear Neighbor,
Summer comes to our beautiful district this month. I hope you are able to enjoy the season, whether you’re traveling on a family vacation or simply relaxing at home with friends and loved ones.
The Legislature has adopted a balanced budget that bolsters our reserves while improving essential services like education and highways. And I have advanced a number of bills. One improves elder care in times of disaster. Another protects low-income people from getting their water shut off. Yet another penalizes companies that are careless with our personal financial data. Others deal with flood control and protecting our streams.
Of course, much of my focus remains on recovering from last year’s devastating wildfires and ensuring people are safe in the future. I’m proud to have brought legislation that requires all new garage door openers to be equipped with backup batteries to keep people from being trapped during power outages. I’ve also proposed a new law that will require utilities companies to strengthen their grids to prevent future fires, while forcing insurance companies to provide the coverage we have paid for.
