Primary HB 1106

In committee · Oklahoma House · Lead sponsor

Public utilities; creating the Electric Utility Wildland Fire Prevention and Response Act of 2025; effective date.

Maddy summaryHB 1106 requires Oklahoma electric utilities (including cooperatives and public utilities) to create and maintain public "electrical wildland fire protection plans" focused on preventing wildfires. These plans must detail risk areas, infrastructure inspections, vegetation management, facility upgrades, and fire response procedures. Utilities avoid liability for wildfires if they followed their approved plan and completed required mitigation work, but property owners can sue for capped damages (limited to restoration costs) if a utility lacks a plan and negligently caused a fire. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, and allows utilities to recover plan-related costs through rate adjustments.
