Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle in a parking space designated as an electric vehicle charging station.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Texas Transportation Code to prohibit vehicles from parking in spaces specifically designated for electric vehicle (EV) charging unless the vehicle is an electric vehicle and is actively charging. The bill adds a tenth restriction to the existing list of places where vehicles cannot be stopped, parked, or left standing. Under this new provision, it would be illegal to park in an EV charging station spot with a non-electric vehicle or an electric vehicle that is not currently being charged. The definition of an electric vehicle is referenced from the Texas Health and Safety Code. The legislation will take effect on September 1, 2025, giving businesses and property owners time to prepare for the new parking restrictions. This change aims to ensure that EV charging stations remain available for their intended purpose of supporting electric vehicle owners who need to recharge their vehicles.
