Bill Summary

Prohibiting the per port registration fee charged for a weight and measure used for the retail sale of electricity as a motor fuel from exceeding the fee charged per meter for a retail motor fuel dispenser meter; requiring funding for the purchase of equipment necessary to inspect the weight and measure to be provided from the Maryland Strategic Energy Investment Fund; and altering the uses of the Fund.

AI Summary

This bill aims to regulate fees and funding for electric vehicle charging equipment used for selling electricity as motor fuel. Specifically, it prohibits the fee charged per charging port for this equipment from exceeding the fee charged per meter for traditional gasoline dispensers. Additionally, it mandates that the Maryland Strategic Energy Investment Fund, a fund established to support energy initiatives, will now be used to cover the costs of purchasing equipment needed to inspect these electric vehicle charging "weights and measures" (which are devices used for weighing or measuring, including those for selling electricity as fuel). The bill also clarifies that the Fund can be used for these inspection costs, alongside its existing uses.
