LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 1329, as amended, Newman. Publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations: electric vehicle charging stations.Existing law, until January 1, 2024, law requires the State Air Resources Board Board, on or before June 30, 2014, and until January 1, 2024, to annually aggregate and make available specified information regarding hydrogen-fueled vehicles and, based on that information, evaluate the need for additional publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations, as specified, and report those findings to the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission. Existing law requires the commission to allocate $20,000,000 annually to fund the number of publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations identified by the state board, not to exceed 20% of the moneys appropriated by the Legislature from the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Fund (fund), Fund, until there are at least 100 publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations in operation in the state. Existing law requires the commission and the state board, on an annual basis, to jointly review and report progress toward establishing a hydrogen-fueling network that provides the coverage and capacity to fuel vehicles requiring hydrogen fuel that are being placed into operation in the state. Existing law requires the commission and the state board to consider certain information while conducting this review and determine the remaining cost and timing to establish a network of 100 publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations in operation in the state and whether funding from the Clean Transportation Program remains necessary to achieve this goal. This bill would delete the requirement that the state board aggregate and make available specified information and report to the commission on or before June 30, 2014, and instead 2014. The bill would instead require the state board, on or before June 30, 2023, and annually thereafter, to determine the number of publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations that are necessary to provide hydrogen fueling hydrogen-fueling access statewide, taking into consideration the state boards 2020 Mobile Source Strategy and specified goals, recommendations, and data. The bill would delete the requirement that the commission allocate $20,000,000 annually to fund the number of publicly available hydrogen fueling stations identified by the state board. The bill would instead require the commission to instead annually allocate the greater of $30,000,000 annually or 30% of from the moneys annually appropriated by the Legislature from the fund to build a an amount determined appropriate by the commission to achieve the goal established by the state board of providing hydrogen-fueling access statewide publicly available hydrogen-fueling station network. and to build the number of electric vehicle or EV charging stations estimated by the commission its biennial statewide assessment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, as provided. The bill would require the commission to ensure that certain requirements are met regarding expenditures of the moneys allocated by the commission. The bill would require the commission and the state board, as part of their annual joint review and report, to determine the remaining cost and timing to establish a network of 200 statewide publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations, instead of 100 stations.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.

| 86 | 85 | (7) The commission, in consultation with the state board, shall award moneys allocated in paragraph (1) based on best available data and input from relevant stakeholders, including motor vehicle manufacturers that have planned deployments of hydrogen-fueled vehicles, according to a strategy that supports the deployment of an effective and efficient statewide publicly available hydrogen-fueling station network in a way that maximizes benefits to the public while minimizing costs to the state. | |
| 87 | 86 | ||
| 88 | 87 | (8) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), once the commission determines, in consultation with the state board, that the private sector is establishing publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations without the need for government support, the commission may cease providing funding for those stations. | |

| 90 | 89 | (e) On or before December 31, 2015, and annually thereafter, the commission and the state board shall jointly review and report on progress toward establishing a statewide publicly available hydrogen-fueling network that provides the coverage and capacity to fuel vehicles requiring hydrogen fuel that are being placed into operation in the state. The commission and the state board shall consider, at a minimum, the available plans of automobile manufacturers to deploy hydrogen-fueled vehicles in the state and their progress toward achieving those plans, the rate of deployment of hydrogen-fueled vehicles, the length of time required to permit and construct hydrogen-fueling stations, the coverage and capacity of the existing publicly available hydrogen-fueling station network, and the amount and timing of growth in the fueling network to ensure fuel is available to these vehicles. The review shall also determine the remaining cost and timing to establish a network of 200 statewide publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations and whether funding from the Clean Transportation Program (Article 2 (commencing with Section 44272) of Chapter 8.9) remains necessary to achieve this goal. | |
| 91 | 90 | ||
