Bill > A01796

This bill requires shopping centers or facilities with over 100 off-street parking spaces to designate a specific number of handicapped parking spaces that are also equipped with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Specifically, the bill mandates that either one percent of the total parking spaces or five spaces (whichever is less) must be handicapped spaces with publicly accessible EV charging capabilities. This means that a large shopping center with 500 parking spaces would need to have five handicapped parking spots with EV charging stations, while a smaller center with 300 spaces would need three such spots. The law aims to improve accessibility for both disabled individuals and electric vehicle owners by integrating these two types of parking accommodations. The bill will go into effect 180 days after becoming law, giving businesses time to make the necessary modifications to their parking facilities.
