Transportation: other; electric vehicle charging ports; allow certain funds to be used to construct, maintain, and operate charging ports at rest areas, welcome centers, or park-and-ride sites. Amends sec. 1b of 1951 PA 51 (MCL 247.651b).

This bill allows the state transportation department to use allocated funds to build, maintain, and operate electric vehicle charging ports at specific locations such as rest areas, welcome centers, and park-and-ride sites. The legislation amends existing transportation laws to clarify that these funds can be used for this purpose, while also maintaining restrictions on using them for new service plazas. It applies to state trunk line highways and does not change how the department handles maintenance costs for other highway features. The bill is part of a package that requires the simultaneous passage of two other related bills before it can take effect.
