What management said
Yes, Carly, between the subrogation settlements that we've made and the WRCP settlements that we're making, we are crossing that $1 billion threshold. So we've worked out with the CEA, who's the administrator of the Wildfire Fund, prefunding mechanism so that we don't come out of pocket for any of those dollars there, and we're working through with them that process to fund the claims now.
I just would say, I think there's a little bit. Rich asked about affordability measures. And I'd just say as part of the legislative package, we're going to evaluate the totality of the package that comes to us and figure out a response that goes along with it.
What analysts pressed on
Analysts expressed concerns about the uncertainty surrounding legislative outcomes and their potential impact on financing costs and future capital investments. There were questions regarding the implications of the wildfire recovery compensation program and the timing of legislative reforms.
