S 6221: Relates to building aid for incremental zero-emission school bus infrastructure costs

Bill S 6221 establishes additional state building aid for school districts to help cover specific infrastructure costs associated with transitioning to zero-emission school buses. This aid applies to "incremental zero-emission school bus storage costs," such as facility modifications for wider doors, specialized lifts, and charge management systems. It also covers "incremental customer-owned make-ready costs" for infrastructure needed to install electric vehicle chargers. This financial support is available for approved expenditures through the 2034-2035 school year, provided they are not reimbursed by other state, federal, or electric utility funding sources.

A 7129: Requires electric vehicle charging stations and electric vehicle ready parking spaces on state properties

This bill requires New York State to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and EV-ready parking spaces at state-owned parking facilities. Specifically, facilities with 50-200 parking spaces must have charging stations in at least 10% of spaces, while larger facilities (over 200 spaces) must have them in at least 20%. All stations must meet minimum technical standards (40 amps, 208 volts), and the Office of General Services is responsible for installation, maintenance, and electrical upgrades. The mandate directly affects state properties used by the public, state employees, or for pay-per-use parking, including government buildings and parking lots.
