CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION
Assembly Bill
No. 684
| Introduced by Assembly Member Levine (Coauthor: Assembly Member Boerner Horvath) |
February 15, 2019 |
An act to amend Section 18941.10 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to building standards.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 684, Levine.
Building standards: electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Existing law, the California Building Standards Law, establishes the California Building Standards Commission within the Department of General Services. Existing law requires the commission to approve and adopt building standards and to codify those standards in the California Building
Standards Code. Existing law requires the commission to adopt, approve, codify, and publish mandatory building standards for the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure for parking spaces in multifamily dwellings and nonresidential development.
This bill would require the Department of Housing and
Community Development and the commission, by July 1, 2022, or the publication of the next interim California Building Code, whichever comes first, to research, develop, and propose building standards regarding the installation of future electric vehicle charging infrastructure for parking spaces for existing multifamily dwellings and nonresidential development, as specified. The bill would also require the Department of Housing and Community Development and the commission
to review the standards for multifamily dwellings and nonresidential development every 18 months to update the standards as needed pursuant to that review.
