This bill allows towns to establish revolving funds specifically for the installation and maintenance of electric vehicle charging stations. It also introduces a prohibition against any person, except those driving emergency vehicles, from stopping, standing, or parking in designated electric vehicle parking spaces. The bill amends existing laws to include new provisions regarding these parking spaces and establishes fines for violations.

Specifically, the bill adds a new subparagraph to RSA 31:95-h, I, allowing for the creation of revolving funds for electric vehicle charging stations. Additionally, it amends RSA 265:69 to include a new provision (k) that prohibits parking in spaces designated for electric vehicles unless the vehicle is actively charging, with a minimum fine of $62 for violations. The bill also updates the numbering of subsequent subparagraphs and clarifies enforcement measures for parking violations related to both electric vehicles and those designated for persons with walking disabilities. The act is set to take effect 60 days after passage.
