What AB 2459 does, verified March 24, 2026

This bill prohibits local building authorities from denying a certificate of occupancy to a nonprofit applicant solely because the required vehicle charging stations are not fully operational. The bill allows for a certificate of occupancy to be granted if the applicant has installed all required vehicle charging infrastructure in the correct manner and to the required specifications. The bill applies to all cities, including charter cities, and addresses a matter of statewide concern. No reimbursement is required by the state for costs associated with implementing this bill.
