EV POLICY UPDATE 3-13-23

Hello electric vehicle advocates! It appears that just one bill related to EVs continues to remain in play during the 2023 legislative session in Olympia. The good news is that Senate Bill 5542 protecting EV charging equipment, which passed unanimously in the Senate, is getting a lot of support and has a public hearing this week in the House of Representatives. Please help keep this legislation moving forward.

THIS WEEK

Senate Bill 5542 - Preventing the destruction of electric vehicle charging equipment. Sponsor Sen. J. Wilson. After passing in the full Senate unanimously on Feb. 27, the bill now will have a hearing at 1:30 p.m. March 15 in the House Consumer Protection and Business Committee. Read text here. Submit your testimony here.

HOW TO TESTIFY:

If you haven't registered your comments yet, it takes just a minute to sign in with your support or opposition. The online Committee Sign In portal allows you to register your support or opposition to a bill, submit a comment for a public hearing, or sign up to testify online on a Senate or House bill.

You also can call and e-mail your state senators and representatives directly - find your district, names and e-mail addresses at www.leg.wa.gov.

I plan to send out weekly updates during the legislative session, highlighting opportunities to share your thoughts and concerns. Please share with anyone you know who is interested!
