Existing law authorizes a local authority that owns or operates, or a person who possesses, an offstreet parking facility to designate stalls or spaces in the offstreet parking facility for the exclusive purpose of charging and parking a vehicle that is connected for electric charging purposes. Existing law authorizes a local authority to designate stalls or spaces on a public street within its jurisdiction for the exclusive purpose of charging and parking a vehicle that is connected for electric charging purposes. Existing law also authorizes the removal of a vehicle from an electric charging space at an offstreet parking facility or public street if the vehicle is not connected for electric charging purposes.

This bill would create an exception to the provisions authorizing removal of a vehicle from an electric charging space on a public street if the vehicle is not connected for electric charging purposes for a vehicle displaying either a disabled license plate or a disabled placard.

Existing law makes it an offense for a person to park or leave standing a vehicle in a stall or space designated for electric vehicle charging unless the vehicle is connected for electric charging purposes.This bill would make an exception to that prohibition by authorizing a vehicle identified with a specified disability license plate or distinguishing placard and equipped with a lift, ramp, or other assistive device used for loading or unloading a person with a disability to park in a stall or space designated for electric vehicle charging without being connected for electric charging purposes if the equipment has been or will be used for loading or unloading a person with a disability from the parked vehicle.
