	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1092, 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, 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. The bill would require the department
and the commission, in proposing and adopting the mandatory building
standards, to use specified sections of the California Green Building
Standards Code as the starting point for the mandatory building
standards and to actively consult with interested parties.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 18941.10 is added to the Health and Safety
Code, to read:
   18941.10.  (a) (1) The commission shall, commencing with the next
triennial edition of the California Building Standards Code (Title 24
of the California Code of Regulations) adopted after January 1,
2014, 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.
   (2) For purposes of paragraph (1), the Department of Housing and
Community Development shall 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.
   (b) (1) In proposing and adopting mandatory building standards
under this section, the Department of Housing and Community

Green Building Standards Code (Part 11 of Title 24 of the California
Code of Regulations) as the starting point for the mandatory building
standards and amend those standards as necessary.
   (2) In proposing and adopting mandatory building standards under
this section, the Department of Housing and Community Development and
the commission shall actively consult with interested parties,
including, but not limited to, investor-owned utilities, municipal
utilities, manufacturers, local building officials, commercial
building and apartment owners, and the building industry.
