Summary

The act requires utility companies to install, maintain, and repair infrastructure located in state highway rights‑of‑way and outlines how larger utilities must obtain permits for such work. It also directs the state to phase out diesel transit buses, requiring at least 30% of new buses to be zero‑emission by 2030, and creates new rules for electric‑vehicle charging stations and EV‑capable parking spaces at state buildings. These measures aim to improve infrastructure reliability, reduce emissions, and prepare state facilities for growing electric‑vehicle use.
