AI Summary

This bill aims to regulate the installation of electric vehicle charging stations in Massachusetts. It defines key terms such as "electric vehicle charging system," "association," and "reasonable restrictions." The bill prohibits associations, historic districts, and neighborhood conservation districts from unreasonably restricting owners from installing electric vehicle charging stations on their own property or in designated parking spots. It outlines the requirements for installation, including that the owner must obtain approval from the relevant governing body, and establishes the rights and responsibilities of the owner regarding maintenance, costs, and removal of the charging station. The bill also allows associations to install common area charging stations for all members. Finally, it includes a severability clause to preserve the validity of the law if any portion is found unconstitutional.
