Summary

Existing law vests the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission with various responsibilities for developing and implementing the state's energy policies. This bill would require the commission to adopt regulations, no later than July 1, 2027, to protect consumers from inaccurate electric vehicle supply equipment, as provided. Existing law governs weights and measures in this state, and authorizes the Secretary of Food and Agriculture and each sealer acting under the supervision and direction of the secretary to enforce those provisions, as specified. Existing law requires the secretary to provide by rules and regulations for the submission for approval of types or designs of weights, measures, or weighing, measuring, or counting instruments or devices, used for commercial purposes, and to issue certificates of approval of those types or designs as the secretary finds meet the requirements of state law, as specified. This bill would, beginning on the date that the commission adopts the above-described regulations, provide that the provisions described above do not apply to the types or designs of weights, measures, or weighing, measuring, or counting instruments or devices, associated with electric vehicle supply equipment, as defined. Existing law governing weights and measures provides that there is in each county the office of county sealer of weights and measures to administer those provisions in the county. This bill would specifically authorize a county sealer to test and certify the accuracy of electric vehicle supply equipment and would require any inspection and enforcement conducted by a county sealer for electric vehicle supply equipment to comply with requirements adopted by the commission pursuant to above-described regulations. The bill would make these provisions operative on the date that the commission adopts the above-described regulations. Existing law authorizes a county sealer to test and verify as correct any electric vehicle charger, as defined, operated by a public agency that is located in the county in which the sealer has jurisdiction, as provided. Existing law, until January 1, 2028, provides that electric vehicle supply equipment that has previously been placed in service by a service agency or sealer is not required to be retested or placed in service in certain situations, as provided. This bill would make any regulations adopted by the secretary for purposes of the former provision inoperative on the date that the commission adopts the above-described regulations. This bill would make the latter provision inoperative on January 1, 2028, or on the date that the commission adopts the above-described regulations, whichever is sooner, and would repeal that provision on January 1 of the following year.
