Bill > S02694

This bill requires state-owned parking facilities to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, with specific requirements based on the number of parking spaces. For parking facilities with 50-200 spaces, at least 10% of spaces must have EV charging stations or infrastructure capable of providing a minimum electrical capacity. For facilities with over 200 spaces, the requirement increases to 20% of spaces. Each charging station must support at least 40 amperes and 208 volts, and comply with local electrical codes. The Office of General Services will be responsible for installing and maintaining these charging stations, with the ability to contract licensed electricians if they cannot perform the work themselves. If contractors are used, they must be paid prevailing wage rates. The bill defines a "parking facility" as a paved and striped parking garage, structure, or lot with 50 or more spaces used for public, state employee, or pay-per-usage parking. This legislation aims to expand EV charging infrastructure in state-owned facilities, supporting the transition to electric vehicles by making charging more accessible.
