BAKCRQUND:
The V~lashington state Legislature approved second substitute Bill ~B} ~ [Exhibit ~ ] in April ~Oa9
with an effective date of July ~~a~. B ~48~ was intended to encourage the transition to electrical
vehicle use through the establishrent of electric vehicle infrastructure Electrical vehicle infrastructure is
defined as the structures, machinery, and equipment necessary and integral to support an electric
vehicle, including battery charging stations, rapid charging stations, and battery exchange stations. B
148 specified that counties, cities and towns throughout lashintor~ state were required to ar~end their
development regulations to allou~ electric vehicle infrastructure as a permitted use in all zones except thane zoned for residential, resource ar critical areas, lr~ these areas, the
statute does not prohibit local
governments from allowing electrical vehicle infrastructure; however, consideration of special conditions
ar limitations is encouraged, The statute also established a timeframe for local governments to comply
with the statute Far the Cit}r of Auburn, this means that ~t must update lts regulatMans to allow batter~r
charging stations by July [Exhibit 2], Battery charging station means an electrical component
assembly or cluster of component assemblies designed specifically to charge batteries within electric
vehicles, which meet or exceed any standards, codes, and regulations set forth b}r RUIN ~ ~~8 and
consistent with rules adopted under RC~U ~ ,~7,~4~, Battery charging stations have different charging
levels or the voltage at vuhich an electric vehicle's battery i charged that are broken dawn as Level ~
flow charging, Level ~ medium charging} and Level {fast or rapid charging} charging stations, Level ~ is present in homes and businesses and typically operates on a `l or ~~~amp breaker
on a ~ 2~-volt
Alternating Current SAC} circuit and standard outlet. Level 2 i expected to become the standard for
home and public charging and typically operates on a 40-ar~p to ~ OD-amp breaker an a X08 ar 4g»volt
AC circuit. Level 3 is primarily for conrnercial and public applications ~e.~, taxi fleets and charging along
freeways} and typically operates on a ~g-amp or higher dedicated breaker on ~8g~volt or higher threey
hale circuit ~vith special grounding equipment, Level charging level is also sometimes referred to a
fast charging ar rapid charging.
R1 ~~,80.~9g [Exhibit specifies that the Puget Sound Regional council, ~rorking pith
representatives from the vUashingtan geparkn~ent of amr~erce, vUashington State gepartment of
Ecology, office of Regulatory Assistance and local gavernnnents seep federal or private funding for the
planning far, deployr~ent of or regulations concerning electrical vehicle infrastructure. Eeginning in fall
~gD, the PI~C and its collaborator, funded by an Energy Efficiency community gevelopment flock
grant began ~vork on a model ordinance, model development regulations and guidance far use by local governments through ~ the State, This effort included the input of a Technical Advisory
omn~ittee, hired consultant, public and private sector entities in the electric vehicle industry and
previously listed state agencies plus the vvashingtan State gepartent of Transportation, State Building
bode council and vUashingtan State gepartment of Labor and Industries.

p, ~ ~sHB i~$l.sL
~ funda~ental disadvantage and dramatically increase consu~er acceptance

~ of convenient electric vehicle charging opportunities be developed.
~ the purpose of this ~ to encourage transition to electric
5 vehicle use and to expedite the establishment of a convenient, cost-
~ effective, electric vehicle infrastructure such a transition
7 necessitates. The ~~~~~#s success in encouraging this transition will

Regional transportation planning organizations Blectr{~ vehicle infrastructure.
} A regional transportation planning organization containing any county with a population in excess of one minion in collaboration with representatives from the department of ecology,
the *department of community, trade, and econarnic development, local governr~ents,
and the office of regulatory assistance must seek federal or private funding far the planning far, deployment of, or regulations concerning
electric vehicle infrastructure. These efforts should include:
~a} Development of short~term and long-term plans outlining how state, regional, and local government construction may include
electric vehicle infrastructure inpublicly available off-street parking and government fleet vehicle parking, including what ratios of charge
spots to parking may be appropriate based on location or type of facility or building;
fib} onsultatians with the state building cads council and the department ol: lobar and industries to coordinate the plans with state
standards for new residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to ensure that the appropriate electric circuitry is installed to support electric vehicle infrastructure;
~c} consultation with the warlcforce development council and the higher education coordinating board to ensure the development of
appropriate educational and training opportunities for citizens of the state in support of the transition of some portion of vehicular transportation from combustion to electric vehicles;
~d} Development of an implementation plan far counties with a population greater than five hundred tl~ausand with the goal ol: having public and private parlEing spaces, in the aggregate,
be ten percent electric vehicle ready by December 2D~$; and
fie} Development of model ordinances and guidance for local governments for siting and installing electric vehicle infrastructure, in particular battery charging stations, and appropriate
handling, recycling, and storage of electric vehicle batteries and equipment.
~2~ These plans and any recomr~endatians developed as a result of the consultations required by this section must be submitted to the
legislature by December 3~, ~~1 D, or as soon as reasonably practicable after the securing of any federal or private funding. t~riarity will be given to the activities in subsection
~~}fie} of this section and any ordinances or guidance that is developed will be submitted to the
legislature, the *department of community, trade, and ecanarnic development, and affected local governments prior to December 31,
2g~0, if completed.
The dei'~nitions in this subsection apply through [throughout this section unless the context clearly requires othenrtirise.
~a} "Battery charging station" means an electrical component assembly or cluster of component assemblies designed specil'ICally to
charge batteries within electric vehicles, which meet or exceed any standards, codes, and regulations set forth by chapter ~ 9.28 RC~V and

Notes:
*RevFaer's notes The "department of community, trade, and ecvnor~ic development" was renamed the "departt~ent of comrrferce" by 2089 c
Finding Purpose ~9D9 c 459: "The legislature finds the development of electric vehicle infrastructure to be a
critical step in creating fobs, fostering economic growth, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing our reliance on
foreign fuels, and reducing the pollution of Puget found attributable to the operation of petroleum-based vehicles on
streets and highways. t.imited driving distance between battery charges is a fundamental disadvantage and obstacle to broad consumer adoption of vehicles powered by electricity. in order
to eliminate this fundamental disadvantage and
dramatically increase consumer acceptance and usage of electric vehicles, it is essential that an ir>fras#ructure of
convenient electric vehicle charging opportunities be developed. The purpose of this act i to encourage the transition to
electric vehicle use and tv expedite the establishment of a convenient, cost-effective, electric vehicle infrastructure that such a transition necessitates. The statefis success in encouraging
this transition will serve as an economic stimulus to the
creation of short~terrn and longterm jabs as the entire automobile industry and its associated direct and indirect jobs
transform over time from ca~bustion to electric vehicles." [OO9 c 459 ~
