S 3740 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Specifies electric vehicle parking space calculation is rounded up if it includes fraction of a whole number and rounded-up parking spaces cannot reduce overall parking supply by more than 10 percent.

This bill clarifies how New Jersey calculates the number of electric vehicle parking spaces required for new developments, specifically rounding up any fractional amounts to ensure developers meet the mandated percentage. It also establishes a limit preventing these rounded-up spaces from reducing the overall parking supply by more than 10 percent. The legislation directly affects developers, property owners, and local land use boards by modifying how parking requirements are determined for multi-unit dwellings and other parking facilities.

MODERATE

This is a First Reprint of S3740 as reported by the Senate Transportation Committee on May 11, 2026, with minor amendments. The substantive changes are limited: subsection g was revised to replace 'an ordinance' with 'any ordinance' and to add the article 'a' before 'permitting application,' slightly broadening and clarifying the exemption for EV equipment installation permits. The bill's explanatory Statement section was removed in the reprint. Senator Raj Mukherji was added as a sponsor and Senator Wimberly as co-sponsor.

SCOPE

Subsection g changed from 'Notwithstanding an ordinance to the contrary, permitting application' to 'Notwithstanding any ordinance to the contrary, a permitting application,' broadening the language from 'an' to 'any' and adding an article for grammatical clarity. This makes the exemption from parking requirement review for EV equipment installation permits apply more explicitly against all contrary ordinances.

TECHNICAL

Subsection f changed the cross-reference from 'subsection e' to 'subsection e 1. of this section,' likely an attempt at a more specific reference, though no subsection e 1 exists in the bill structure, suggesting a possible drafting error.

The entire Statement section (the explanatory summary of the bill's purpose) was removed from the reprint version.

Senator Raj Mukherji (District 32, Hudson) was added as a sponsor and Senator Wimberly was added as co-sponsor.
