What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Limiting Liability for Critical Infrastructure Manufacturers Act," aims to protect certain companies from legal consequences. It proposes to make manufacturers of critical infrastructure immune from liability and suits under both Federal and State law regarding claims from wildfire incidents. This immunity applies to losses caused by, arising out of, or resulting from such wildfires. The only exception to this protection is if there is proof of willful misconduct during the design or production of the equipment.
