An Act relative to electric vehicle charging stations

HD 1106 requires drivers parking non-compatible vehicles in publicly available electric vehicle (EV) charging spots to pay fines ($50 for first offense, $100 for repeat). It also grants the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT) authority to lease land near highways - including safety rest areas and inspection stations - for installing new EV charging stations. The bill directly affects EV drivers using public charging infrastructure and DOT in planning station locations. It takes effect immediately upon passage, creating concrete rules for station access and expansion.
