Bill overview
This bill, the Safe and Secure Battery Storage Act, temporarily restricts public agencies from authorizing the construction of battery energy storage facilities until January 1, 2028. During this period, the State Fire Marshal must develop safety guidelines and minimum standards to prevent fires and protect communities. The bill also aims to ensure these facilities meet stringent safety requirements once construction is permitted.
