"today in the bay's" stephanie chuang is in san francisco. stephanie, state commissioners debating over two different proposed fines. >> reporter: that's right, good morning to you, scott and kris. that debate happening in the courtroom behind me this morning. the two fines one determined by administrative law judges a few months ago, the other proposed by the commission president himself last month that increases the fine by $200 million. both penalties would be record-setting in the state against pg&e for the 2010 deadly san bruno pipeline explosion that killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes.

san bruno was just one of multiple natural gas accidents that led to more scrutiny of the state's largest power utility. san bruno leaders are supporting commission president michael pickers' proposal of a $1.6 billion fine that would cut the pg&e shareholders' payment into the state general fund from $950 million down to $300 million but it would add $850 million to go directly to pipeline safety improvements, that's in addition to $400 million in a refund to rate payers in the form of a one-time bill credit as well as $50 million to implement more than 75 safety improvements. so that's the breakdown. pg&e says that it has redoubled safety training, carrying out 9 of 12 specific safety upgrades specifically recommended by federal transportation officials and it has already changed some top executives. now the hearing here at the ppc courtroom starts at 9:30 this morning. we'll have coverage. san bruno wants more than just

money. we'll go into that in our next report in about half an hour. stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." stanford is making a bold move to fight sexual assaults on campus. when a student is found to have committed a sexual assault, that student will be expelled.

streamlined investigative process and better resources for victims and a requirement that students now be expelled if that three-member panel i mentioned finds them responsible for sexual assault. at least one student we spoke with was surprised, can't believe this is just becoming policy now. >> i had thought it was in place in years past and i think it kind of blew up this past spring, with the case for the entire university. >> reporter: and that poster child she is referring to is leah francis who says she was sexually assaulted by another student, this was last year, while both of them were back home over school break. students protested when the university suspended that student for five quarters. that case propelled the federal government to place stanford on a list of about 100 schools nationwide now under investigation for the way they handle sexual assault. since 2005, courts have convicted nine stanford students of sexual assault. of those nine students, the

campus has only expelled one. the new expulsion policy goes into effect starting this fall. reporting live here at stanford, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> all right, a lot of folks will be watching for the specifics on that as we go along. thank you very much, bob. a man accused of molesting a little girl inside a 99 cent store in hayward may enter a plea today. his plea has been delayed several times. he's been in jail since the alleged attack back in february. this is not his first time facing these kind of accusations. back in 2010 carlislevil villaz was convicted of molesting a different girl in a walmart. a sunnyvale police officer is on routine paid administrative leave this morning after he shot and killed a robbery suspect. you can hear the tension in the emergency dispatch call. >> refusing to comply, he has a knife, around 50 feet away
