Bill > HB1592

This bill amends Pennsylvania's vehicle code to require that any publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging station include at least one parking space specifically designed to accommodate wheelchair-accessible vehicles, such as vans and minivans. Additionally, the bill mandates that the state transportation department (referred to as "the department") publish an annual online report detailing three key pieces of information: the total number of EV charging stations in operation, their specific locations, and the department's regulatory costs associated with these charging stations. By creating this new requirement, the bill aims to improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities who use electric vehicles, ensuring that they have dedicated, appropriately sized parking spaces at charging locations. The provisions of this bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving businesses and charging station operators time to adapt to the new requirements.
