	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1092, as amended, Levine. Building standards: electric vehicle
charging infrastructure.
   The California Building Standards Law provides for the adoption of
building standards by state agencies by requiring all state agencies
that adopt or propose adoption of any building standard to submit
the building standard to the California Building Standards Commission
for approval and adoption. In the absence of a designated state
agency, the commission is required to adopt specific building
standards, as prescribed. Existing law requires the commission to
publish, or cause to be published, editions of the code in its
entirety once every 3 years.
   This bill would require the commission,  as a part of
  commencing with  the next triennial edition of
the California Building Standards Code adopted after January 1, 2014,
to adopt  , approve, codify, and publish  mandatory
building standards for the installation of future electric vehicle
charging infrastructure for parking spaces in multifamily dwellings
and nonresidential development.  The bill would require the
Department of Housing and Community Development to propose mandatory
building standards for the installation of future electric vehicle
charging infrastructure for parking spaces in multifamily dwellings
and submit the proposed mandatory building standards to the
commission for consideration. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
