CA SB802

Requires air districts to adopt or revise rules allowing health facilities with emergency backup generator permits to operate those generators during deenergization events without counting the usage toward time limitations in their permits.

Defines a deenergization event as the proactive interruption of electrical service to mitigate or avoid wildfire risk, with exempt usage periods running from when a facility is notified of an impending deenergization until reliable electrical service is restored.

Requires electrical corporations, electrical cooperatives, and local publicly owned electric utilities to submit reports by January 30 each year to affected air districts describing any deenergization events that occurred, including area affected, timing, and notifications provided to health care facilities.

Applies to emergency backup generators subject to the State Air Resources Board's Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Stationary Compression Ignition Engines.

Establishes that local agencies may recover costs through existing authority to levy service charges and fees, with additional state reimbursement available if the Commission on State Mandates determines other mandated costs exist.
