Bill > A05880

This bill requires public libraries with parking facilities to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, specifically mandating that at least five percent of their parking spaces be equipped with charging infrastructure. The bill defines a "parking facility" as a paved and striped parking garage, structure, or lot, and stipulates that each charging station must support a minimum electrical capacity of forty amperes and two hundred eight volts. Additionally, all charging stations and related components must comply with applicable state, county, city, town, and village electrical codes. The legislation is designed to promote EV adoption by ensuring that public libraries provide convenient charging options for electric vehicle owners. The bill will take effect three years after becoming law, giving libraries sufficient time to plan and implement the required charging infrastructure.
