An Act establishing a resilient electric vehicle charging system pilot program and river restoration fund and veterans and emergency responders’ fund

This bill establishes a pilot program for resilient electric vehicle (EV) charging systems that maintain power during extended outages (24+ hours). It requires participating EV charging systems to use small-scale hydroelectric power with specific environmental standards (like LIHI certification) and includes a "resilience adder" for net metering. The program mandates that participants allocate 5% of EV charging revenue to a River Restoration Fund managed by the Low Impact Hydropower Institute (LIHI), which will fund projects like river cleanups, fish passage improvements, and climate resilience initiatives. The bill also requires EV microgrids to support emergency communications during outages. Note: The veterans and emergency responders' fund mentioned in the title is not detailed in the provided bill text.
