electric companies fr electr electr electric companies from costs and pass it on to you. >> reporter: good morning, the idea is to let the power companies like, pg&e handle this part of the business. providing power and shielding them from dealing with costs of wildfires. this law would create a fund, a $21 billion fund for victims of future fires. that would protect pg&e, which declared bankruptcy because of the large fires over the past two years. the money for these future victims would come from customers and shareholders of the utility. it would also require utility companies to get annual safety certifications. some critics are concerned at how quickly this bill is moving. it was introduced two weeks ago. it's complicated. lawmakers campaign they haven't had enough time to read it. the governor wants it approved by tomorrow.

lawmakers will be going on a month long recess and fire season is here. he wants it passed now. some say there's no reason to wait, that this needs to be addressed as soon as the assembly is expected to vote today. if it's approved it heads to the governor's desk. thank you. and a federal judge is ordering pg&e to respond to an article published by the "wall street journal." they obtained documents showing 49 metal towers that carried the line needed to be fully replaced. pg&e delayed upgrading their lines. detailed inspections began after the camp fire killed 85 people. one activist told abc 7 news she's not surprised by what was uncovered. >> this is a company that puts profits before people again and

i want to know exactly what the plan is. >> who can blame her? officials say there are significant investments in police in this year's budget. they hope that will turn things around. in the north bay, a man struck by a train has been identified. 68-year-old keith markham was facing charges of sexual abuse against minors, his death was ruled a suicide.ide. the new fencing goes up after two other deadly pedestrian accidents happened at that spot in the last week of june. over the course of two days, a train struck a bicyclist and a woman after she walked under a gate crossing arm. officials are looking into increasing security at that intersection. neighbors in one committee say a te temporar temporar tem y
