Summary

A key announcement is the California Legislature's approval of Senate Bill 254 (SB 254), which is expected to be signed into law. This legislation is of material importance, and SCE has provided its interpretation via an investor presentation, which will be used in investor meetings and posted on the company's investor relations website.

Under this agreement, SCE will pay $0.52 for each dollar of claims paid or to be paid by the Subrogation Claimant to its policyholders, up to a cap.
