Bill Summary
Prohibits certain vehicles from parking in electric vehicle charging spaces under certain circumstances.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits non-electric vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles that are not actively charging from parking in designated electric vehicle charging spaces. Specifically, the bill defines an "electric vehicle charging space" as a publicly accessible charging location with visible signage indicating its availability for charging plug-in electric vehicles. Under the proposed law, individuals who park in these spaces inappropriately would face escalating fines: $55 for the first offense, $100 for the second offense, and $200 for the third and subsequent offenses. Municipalities would have the discretion to tow vehicles found in violation, with the vehicle's registered owner or lessee being responsible for all associated towing and storage costs. The bill also adds new definitions to the existing motor vehicle code, including terms like "plug-in electric vehicle" and "plug-in hybrid electric vehicle," to provide clarity around the types of vehicles covered by the new parking restrictions. The aim of the legislation appears to be ensuring that electric vehicle charging spaces remain available and functional for drivers who need to charge their vehicles.
