Bill > HR5896

This bill, known as the GRID Act (Guarding Ratepayers from Imposed EV Charging Directives Act), seeks to repeal a specific standard related to electric vehicle (EV) charging programs within the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. Specifically, the bill eliminates paragraph (21) from section 111(d) of the original act, which likely contained guidelines or requirements for utility companies regarding EV charging infrastructure and programs. The bill also removes several related provisions, including time limitations, references to compliance with the original standard, and sections addressing prior state actions and pending proceedings related to the EV charging standard. By repealing these provisions, the bill effectively removes federal regulatory requirements or recommendations for utility companies concerning electric vehicle charging programs, potentially giving states and local utilities more discretion in how they approach and implement EV charging infrastructure and services.
