The recent changes to Bill SB 5746 involve the removal of some procedural language and a revision of the bill’s version designation. Specifically, the bill now emphasizes the need for the interagency electric vehicle coordinating council to tackle property crimes related to electric vehicle chargers, maintaining its original intent while simplifying its presentation. This matters because it ensures a focused effort on protecting infrastructure crucial for the adoption of electric vehicles, ultimately aiding in the transition to cleaner transportation.
