What AB 39 does, verified December 6, 2025

The bill requires cities and counties with a population greater than 75,000 residents to prepare and adopt a plan that includes locally based goals, objectives, and policies to expand electric vehicle charging and zero-emission vehicle fueling infrastructure. The plan must address the needs of disadvantaged communities, low-income households, and small businesses for equitable and prioritized investments in zero-emission technologies. The plan can be integrated into the existing general plan or adopted as a separate plan. The bill applies to cities and counties in the state, including charter cities, and considers the changes proposed by the bill to be a matter of statewide concern. Reimbursement for costs associated with implementing the plan is not required.
