Sec. 13h.

(5) A developer or property owner may apply for an exemption to the requirements of this section or a reduction in the number of charging stations required if the developer or property owner can show 1 or more of the following:
(a) That the anticipated duration of parking due to the particular use of the property, or similar considerations, would make the presence of charging stations unreasonable due to the lack of the likelihood of use of the charging station or stations.
(b) That the cost of complying with the requirements of this section or the number of charging stations required significantly outweighs the cost of a planned alteration so as to preclude that alteration if the requirements were imposed.
(c) That the imposition of the requirements of this section or the number of charging stations required would constitute a governmental taking as defined by law.
(6) The director shall promulgate rules that establish standards and requirements for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations under this section.
