A Message from Senator Bill Dodd
Dear Neighbor,
As harvest time approaches, Gov. Brown signs bills ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline. Already, a number of my bills have become law while others await the governor’s pen.
Among the most significant pieces to be signed is my wildfire safety legislation. Senate Bill 901 boosts the state’s forest management activities, updates requirements for maintenance and operation of utility infrastructure to reflect climate change and protects ratepayers from bearing unfair costs.
The governor called SB 901 “absolutely necessary” to prevent future wildfires.
Meanwhile, I am hosting a number of events in the district, starting with a Sept. 28 Senior Issues Forum in Napa. I’ll host a Fire Prevention and Remembrance Forum in Calistoga Oct. 9 and a Transportation issues forum Oct. 15 in American Canyon.
As always, I’m eager to hear your ideas and available to get what you need from our state agencies. You can contact me by visiting my website or by calling my offices.
