California lawmakers are expected to vote Tuesday on a bill to help wildfire victims.

The vote comes after they rejected a larger plan by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

That plan would have limited utility companies’ financial responsibility for fires caused by their equipment.

Newsom said the compromise has some benefits, like faster payments for victims.

But he said it fails to make big changes on who pays for fires started by utility equipment.

His original plan would have reduced what utilities paid some victims.

It would also have barred insurers from suing them for repayment.

The failure is a rare loss for the governor, who often gets support from the Democratic-led Legislature.

Fire victims had strongly criticized his proposal, saying it favored utilities.

Joy Chen, of Every Fire Survivor’s Network, called the deal a win.

She said lawmakers listened to survivors.

The bill would create a program to pay victims faster.

It would also ban hedge funds from making money off wildfire claims.

And it would bar utility executives from bonuses if their equipment damaged more than 500 buildings.

Utilities, including Pacific Gas & Electric and Edison International, said the bill won’t keep rates stable.

They also said it won’t provide long-term solutions.

Assemblymember Rick Zbur called the lack of broader reform a “disaster.”

The bill needs two-thirds approval.

It will take effect right after being signed.

Lawmakers also passed a separate bill.

That bill creates the nation’s first standards for testing and cleaning toxic materials in homes after wildfires.
