Bill Summary

Relative to allowing electric vehicles in high occupancy lanes. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill allows battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which are fully electric cars certified by federal agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, to use high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, also known as carpool lanes, even if they don't meet the typical passenger requirements for those lanes. The secretary of transportation will be responsible for creating any necessary rules to put this change into effect.
