BILL NUMBER: AB 1092	INTRODUCED
	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Levine

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to add Section 22511.2 to the Vehicle Code, relating to
electric charge stations.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1092, as introduced, Levine. Electric charge stations: new
construction projects.
   Existing law allows a local authority and a person in lawful
possession of an offstreet parking facility to designate spaces for
charging an electric vehicle.
   This bill would require a new construction project with 4 or more
offstreet parking spaces to include one electric vehicle charge
station per every 4 offstreet parking spaces included in the project.
By imposing new duties upon local entities in the approval of
construction projects, this bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 22511.2 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:
   22511.2.  (a) A local authority shall require that a construction
project with four or more offstreet parking spaces include one
electric vehicle charge station per every four offstreet parking
spaces included in the project.
   (b) This section applies only to construction projects for which a
building permit is issued on or after January 1, 2014.
  SEC. 2.  If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this
act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local
agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant
to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of
the Government Code.
