AB 1174: Clean Transportation Program: eligible programs and projects: electric vehicle charging stations: vandalism deterrence.

This bill aims to expand the California clean transportation program to include funding for programs and projects that deter and combat vandalism of publicly available electric vehicle charging stations. The existing program, administered by the state energy resources conservation and development commission, provides funding for innovative technologies to transform California's fuel and vehicle types. The proposed addition to the program would focus on addressing the issue of vandalism, which can hinder the adoption and use of electric vehicles. By adding this new category, the bill seeks to promote the development and deployment of electric vehicle charging stations while also addressing the challenges posed by vandalism.
