The proposal would expand legal protections for utility workers and others maintaining critical infrastructure, placing them in a protected class similar to certain public safety personnel.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1608\">Under the bill, assaulting a utility worker while they are performing official duties could carry penalties of up to one year in county jail, a fine of up to $2,000, or both.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1uap5op\" data-start=\"1610\" data-end=\"1632\">Shooting in Camino<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1891\">The legislation follows a March 12 shooting in Camino, where PG&amp;E lineman Will Lajocies was shot at close range while working in the field, according to authorities and family members. His brother, who was present at the time, narrowly avoided being struck.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1893\" data-end=\"2123\">Lajocies, a Pollock Pines resident and father of two, remains in recovery. Family members say he is the primary provider for his household, which includes a child with severe special needs, and now faces mounting financial strain.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2359\">Responding deputies from the <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">El Dorado County Sheriff&#8217;s Office<\/span><\/span> were also injured in an exchange of gunfire with the suspect. Officials said all victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were transported for medical care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2361\" data-end=\"2486\">The suspect, identified as Steven Carter, is expected to return to court later this week for further arraignment proceedings.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"pwbee2\" data-start=\"2488\" data-end=\"2519\">A growing concern statewide<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2521\" data-end=\"2792\">Supporters of SB 1330 say the Camino incident underscores a broader pattern of increasing threats against utility workers across California. Since 2024, more than 450 threats or acts of violence have been reported statewide, according to testimony presented to lawmakers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2794\" data-end=\"3001\">\u201cUtility workers are frontline essential workers who are increasingly \u2014 and sadly and unacceptably \u2014 becoming the victims of crimes and assaults while just doing their job,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2794\" data-end=\"3001\">Arregu\u00edn said during the hearing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3003\" data-end=\"3090\">Workers who testified described encounters that escalated beyond routine service calls.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3092\" data-end=\"3207\">Jill Long, a Sacramento-area utility worker, recounted being trapped on a customer\u2019s property during an inspection.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"3209\" data-end=\"3377\">\u201cI had a customer keep me trapped in his backyard against my will. It was frightening and unacceptable,\u201d Long said. \u201cHe had cameras everywhere and wouldn\u2019t let me out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"3379\" data-end=\"3524\">Another worker, Luis Ara\u00fajo Sanchez of San Diego Gas &amp; Electric, told lawmakers he had been both verbally and physically assaulted while working.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1dr7n4q\" data-start=\"3526\" data-end=\"3547\">What happens next<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3549\" data-end=\"3755\">The bill passed the committee on a 6-0 vote with bipartisan support and now moves to the Senate Appropriations Committee, where lawmakers will evaluate its fiscal impact before a potential full Senate vote.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3757\" data-end=\"3992\">Back in El Dorado County, the Camino shooting continues to ripple through the tight-knit foothill communities where utility crews are a common presence, particularly in wildfire-prone areas where infrastructure maintenance is critical.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3994\" data-end=\"4135\">For supporters, the legislation is as much about deterrence as accountability \u2014 ensuring those who keep the lights on can do so without fear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A shooting in Camino that injured a PG&#038;E lineman and deputies is driving a new California bill to protect utility workers on the job<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"format":"standard","override":[{"template":"7","parallax":"1","layout":"no-sidebar-narrow","sidebar":"default-sidebar","second_sidebar":"default-sidebar","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"float","share_float_style":"share-normal","show_share_counter":"1","show_view_counter":"1","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"default","post_date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","show_post_category":"1","post_reading_time_wpm":"300","post_calculate_word_method":"str_word_count","show_zoom_button":"0","zoom_button_out_step":"2","zoom_button_in_step":"3","show_post_tag":"1","show_popup_post":"1","show_comment_section":"1","number_popup_post":"1","show_author_box":"1","show_post_related":"1","show_inline_post_related":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"crop-500","single_post_gallery_size":"crop-500"}],"trending_post_position":"meta","trending_post_label":"Trending","sponsored_post_label":"Sponsored by","disable_ad":"0","subtitle":"Lawmakers move swiftly after El Dorado County attack leaves lineman and deputies wounded"},"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime","category-government"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
