CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION
Senate Bill
No. 30
Introduced by Senator Umberg (Coauthor: Senator Archuleta) |
December 05, 2022 |
An act to add Section 101.16 to the Streets and Highways Code, relating to transportation.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 30, as amended, Umberg.
Transportation: zero-emission vehicle signage.
Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways and all property and rights in property acquired for state highway purposes. Existing law requires the department to adopt rules and regulations that allow the placement, near exits on freeways in rural areas, of information signs identifying specific roadside businesses, including a business offering electric vehicle charging facilities.
This bill would require the department, in coordination with the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) and the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, to develop and design light-duty zero-emission vehicle charging and fueling station signage to be placed along state highways based on charger or fueling type and vehicle compatibility,
in order to increase consumer confidence in locating electric vehicle chargers and hydrogen fueling stations. The bill would authorize the department to adopt rules and regulations for these purposes.
