Purpose and Summary

Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
Bill 119 s 1066, also known as the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Funding Authorization Act, is a piece of legislation that aims to allocate funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure programs. The bill proposes that the funds designated for these programs can also be used for other highway projects, in addition to supporting the expansion of electric vehicle charging stations.

The main goal of this bill is to promote the growth of electric vehicles by increasing the availability of charging stations across the country. By authorizing funding for these infrastructure programs, the government hopes to incentivize more people to switch to electric vehicles, which can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

In addition to supporting electric vehicle infrastructure, the bill also aims to improve the overall quality of highways by allowing the funds to be used for other highway projects. This could include repairs, maintenance, and upgrades to existing highways, as well as the construction of new highways to improve transportation efficiency and safety. Overall, Bill 119 s 1066 seeks to address the growing demand for electric vehicles and the need for improved highway infrastructure in the United States. By authorizing funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure programs that can also be used for other highway projects, the bill aims to support sustainable transportation options and enhance the overall quality of the country's highways.
