An act to amend Section 18941.10 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to building standards.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1239, as amended, Holden.
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. That law requires 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. That law also requires the department and the commission to use specified provisions of the California Green Building Standards Code as a starting point for those mandatory building standards.
This bill would require the department and the commission to
research, propose, and adopt mandatory building standards regarding electric vehicle capable parking spaces for multifamily housing housing, commercial, and parking structure construction and renovation, as specified. The bill would require the department and the commission to consider revising electric vehicle capable building standards every 18 months.
