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 stopping, standing, or parking in designated electric vehicle parking spaces by any vehicle other than those actively charging, with the exception of emergency vehicles. The bill amends existing laws to include new regulations 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 designated electric vehicle spaces unless the vehicle is actively charging, with a minimum fine of $62 for violations. The bill also updates the numbering of subsequent subparagraphs and modifies the enforcement provisions related to parking violations for persons with walking disabilities. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage and is expected to have a fiscal impact of less than $10,000 annually from 2025 to 2028.
