Bill > SB447

This bill requires the director of the legislative council service to install electric vehicle charging stations in at least 43% of the parking spaces located beneath the legislative building by December 31, 2026. The bill defines two key terms: an "electric vehicle" as a motor vehicle powered by a rechargeable battery that gets electricity from an external source, and an "electric vehicle charging station" as a facility that transfers electricity to an electric vehicle. By mandating these charging stations, the bill aims to support the adoption of electric vehicles and provide convenient charging infrastructure for legislators and staff who drive electric vehicles, reflecting a growing trend towards promoting environmentally friendly transportation options in government facilities.
