Bill > A01798

This bill establishes a 13-member task force to develop recommendations for a tax credit program that would incentivize commercial property owners to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The task force will include members appointed by the senate president, assembly speaker, minority leaders of both chambers, and the governor. These members will serve without compensation but will be reimbursed for their expenses. Within one year of the bill's effective date, the task force is required to submit a report to the governor and legislature that includes recommendations for: the agency that would administer the tax credit program, necessary regulations, guidelines for acceptable hourly fees charged at EV charging stations, and other requirements for commercial property owners to qualify for the tax credit. The tax credit would specifically apply to commercial property owners who charge an hourly rate for EV charging station use. The bill will take effect immediately and expire 24 months after becoming law, at which point its provisions will be automatically repealed. Appointments to the task force must be made within 60 days of the bill's effective date, and any vacancies will be filled using the same appointment process as the initial selections.
