Vehicles: equipment; requirement for permit for electric vehicle charging ports; modify. Amends sec. 676a of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.676a).

This bill modifies Michigan vehicle code provisions to allow the state transportation department to install and maintain electric vehicle charging ports at specific locations, including rest areas, welcome centers, and park-and-ride sites. Unlike other commercial activities on highway rights-of-way, this initiative does not require local municipalities to pass authorizing resolutions or agree to enforce permit conditions. Any fees collected from these charging stations must be deposited into the state trunk line fund. The legislation also clarifies that existing businesses with long-standing rights on highway rights-of-way are not affected by these new rules.
