AB 493 requires that propulsion batteries (used in electric vehicles) be disposed of through specialized recyclers, not in regular landfills, and mandates labeling with provider contact information. Battery providers must ensure battery health data is accessible, and recyclers, secondary handlers, and providers must report disposal activities to the state environmental agency. These rules apply to all propulsion batteries sold in the state, affecting manufacturers, recyclers, and auto wreckers handling electric vehicle batteries. The bill also prohibits landfill disposal and sets reporting requirements for waste management compliance.
SB 152 allows homeowners' associations (HOAs) in Nevada to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in common areas under specific conditions. It requires HOAs to avoid recreational spaces (like parks), obtain majority owner approval via board meetings, comply with existing rules, and ensure no increased costs for residents. The bill explicitly states that installing these stations does not count as a "commercial use" or "capital improvement" of common areas, removing a common barrier to such installations. This directly affects HOAs and their residents by clarifying their ability to support EV infrastructure without triggering restrictive bylaws or fees.
