The bill H. B. No. 2025-2026 proposes the enactment of section 125.848 of the Revised Code, which prohibits state agencies from providing free public access to electric vehicle charging stations located on their property. Under this new section, state agencies must charge a reasonable fee for the use of these charging stations, which will be determined by the director of administrative services. The bill defines key terms such as "electric vehicle," "electric vehicle charging station," and "state agency," and outlines the factors that the director must consider when establishing the fee, including the costs of electricity, installation, and maintenance of the charging stations.

However, the bill does allow for an exception where a state agency can provide charging stations for electric vehicles that are exclusively used by that agency without requiring a fee. This provision aims to ensure that while public access to charging stations incurs a cost, state agencies can still utilize these facilities for their own vehicles without financial burden. Overall, the bill seeks to regulate the use of electric vehicle charging stations by state agencies and ensure that they are not offered for free to the public.
