The bill introduces a new section to chapter 46.61 RCW that establishes penalties for individuals who intentionally cause damage or service interruptions to electric vehicle charging stations. It categorizes violations based on the value of the damaged property: a gross misdemeanor for damages under $1,000, a class C felony for damages between $1,000 and $5,000, and a class B felony for damages exceeding $5,000. The bill also clarifies that these penalties do not apply to employees of electricity service providers who inadvertently cause such damage.

Additionally, the bill mandates that individuals convicted of these violations must make restitution to the affected charging station owners and pay an extra $100 fine if the violation occurs on state property. Victims of these crimes are granted the right to file a lawsuit in superior court for actual damages, civil damages up to $5,000, and legal costs. The bill defines an "electric vehicle charging station" to encompass various types of charging equipment and infrastructure necessary for electric vehicle charging.
