This bill mandates the Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to review and amend the State Uniform Construction Code (UCC) to accommodate the increased weight of electric vehicles in both new and existing parking structures. For new structures, the commissioner is tasked with developing requirements that include addressing the weight of electric vehicles, establishing installation codes for electric vehicle chargers, distributing parking spaces to reduce load intensity, analyzing construction types for load capacity, and ensuring at least 10 percent of parking spaces are designated for electric vehicles.

For existing parking structures, the bill requires the commissioner to review current load requirements, implement a monitoring process for performance with electric vehicle occupancy, publish model analyses for upgrades, and mandate remediation plans for structures deemed unsound due to increased loads. If owners fail to comply with the remediation plan within 90 days of notification, the DCA has the authority to close the structure until compliance is achieved. The commissioner will also adopt necessary rules and regulations under the "Administrative Procedure Act" to implement these provisions, with the bill set to take effect three months after enactment.
