SB 1283: Electric vehicle charging stations: installation: permits.
This bill aims to improve the installation and approval process for electric vehicle charging stations. It requires local governments to adopt expedited, streamlined permitting processes for these stations, including supporting infrastructure. The bill also establishes a standardized form for applicants to provide information about their proposed project. Local governments must provide written notice to applicants within 30 days of approving their applications, and approved applicants can proceed with project construction. The bill also allows applicants to seek injunctive relief in court if they believe their application has been unfairly denied. Additionally, the bill makes conforming changes to definitions and requirements for electric vehicle charging stations.
