Two special session budget bills related to the Los Angeles wildfires were introduced on the morning of Monday, January 20. As such, they will be eligible for passage in both houses of the California Legislature as soon as the morning of Thursday, January 23 (that is, 72 hours after publication online). Special session budget committee hearings on the bills are expected on Wednesday, January 22...
Federal reimbursements for eligible state spending are to be sought, as specified in the bill package.

Note that federal reimbursement is not guaranteed. To the extent that the fires draw down current state reserves, the expense of the fires may limit the ability of UC to obtain additional state funding next fiscal year.
