Bill > H0086

This bill amends Idaho law to prohibit state and local governments from mandating electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure in building plans. Specifically, the legislation prevents any government entity from requiring EV charging stations, designated EV parking spaces, electrical conduit upgrades, or other EV charging-related infrastructure as part of building design requirements. The bill explicitly overrides any existing local laws, ordinances, orders, rules, or regulations that currently mandate such EV infrastructure in building plans. By declaring an emergency provision, the law would take effect immediately upon passage and approval, meaning that as soon as the bill is signed, local governments would be prevented from imposing EV charging requirements on new building plans. The intent appears to be limiting regulatory burdens on construction and development by removing mandatory EV infrastructure provisions at the local level.
