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 that is not an emergency vehicle. The bill amends existing laws to include new provisions regarding electric vehicle parking, ensuring that these spaces are clearly marked and reserved for vehicles that are actively charging.

The bill makes several amendments to current law, including the addition of a new subparagraph to RSA 31:95-h, I, which allows for the creation of revolving funds for electric vehicle charging stations. It also modifies RSA 265:69 to include a new subparagraph (k) that specifies the conditions under which parking in electric vehicle spaces is prohibited, with a minimum fine of $62 for violations. Additionally, it updates the numbering of subsequent subparagraphs and clarifies the enforcement process for violations related to parking in spaces designated 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.
