Summary

SB 1283 requires every California city, county and joint agency to adopt an ordinance and checklist that creates a fast‑track, electronic permitting process for electric‑vehicle charging stations and hydrogen‑fueling stations, even when they have canopies or onsite energy storage. The law sets clear safety and performance standards for the equipment and limits permit denials to cases of a documented, specific public‑health or safety impact. It also fixes deadlines for local governments to update their ordinances and provides a legal avenue for applicants if agencies do not comply.
