By April 22, 2021—Earth Day—the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) seeks to recognize jurisdictions that have complied with Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station permit streamlining by awarding Gold, Silver, and Bronze recognition “medals.” Assembly Bill 1236 (Chiu, 2015) required all jurisdictions to streamline permitting necessary to install EV charging infrastructure.
The state has set ambitious climate change and Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) readiness goals. GO-Biz continues to offer assistance to local government agencies on AB 1236 compliance, including best practices and streamlining templates.
