47- SECTION 1. The legislature finds that many major vehicle manufacturers are planning to phase out the sale of new fossil fuel vehicles by 2035. The largest vehicle markets in California, New York, Europe, and other areas have already prohibited the sale of fossil fuel vehicles beyond 2035. However, rental fleets in Hawaii will be unable to adapt unless sufficient electric vehicle charging infrastructure is available at rental hubs, including airports, and destinations, including hotels and visitor attractions. The legislature further finds that due to their size, public vehicle fleets and rental motor vehicle fleets are responsible for the largest sources of vehicle pollution in the State. In an effort to address this issue, the legislature enacted Act 74, Session Laws of Hawaii 2021, to require all state-owned, light-duty motor vehicles to be zero-emission vehicles by the end of 2035. The legislature recognizes that transitioning rental motor vehicle fleets to zero-emission vehicles will reduce carbon emissions and increase the number of zero-emissions vehicles entering the secondary market, making clean electric vehicles more affordable and lowering the cost of transportation for local residents. Finally, the legislature finds that transitioning to zero‑emission rental fleets will demonstrate to visitors that Hawaii is keeping pace with the innovation and electrification of transportation of cities across Asia, Europe, and the United States. Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to: (1) Require rental car companies using state facilities to pay or reimburse the State to construct new or use existing state electric vehicle charging infrastructure at those facilities beginning January 1, 2028; and (2) Establish a task force to determine the implementation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure to support one hundred per cent electric vehicle rental car fleets in the State by 2035. SECTION 2. Chapter 437D, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows: "§437D- Electric vehicle charging stations; payment required. Beginning January 1, 2028, all rental car companies using state facilities shall pay for or reimburse the State to: (1) Construct electric vehicle charging stations at those facilities; or (2) Use existing state electric vehicle charging infrastructure at those facilities." SECTION 3. (a) There is established a task force to develop a plan to implement electric vehicle charging infrastructure to support one hundred per cent electric vehicle rental fleets by 2035. (b) The task force shall consist of the following members: (1) The director of transportation, or the director's designee, who shall serve as chairperson; (2) The director of the office of planning and sustainable development, or the director's designee, (3) The chief energy officer of the Hawaii state energy office, or the chief energy officer's designee; (4) The chairperson of the senate standing committee with primary purview over transportation, or the chairperson's designee; (5) The chairperson of the house of representatives standing committee with primary purview over transportation, or the chairperson's designee; (6) A representative from the rental car industry, to be appointed by the president of the senate; (7) A representative from the hotel industry, to be appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives; (8) A representative from the Hawaiian Electric Company; and (9) Other stakeholders invited by the chairperson of the task force. (c) The task force shall develop a plan to implement electric vehicle charging infrastructure to support one hundred per cent electric vehicle fleets in the State by 2035. (d) The task force shall submit annual reports of its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of each regular session beginning with the regular session of 2024; provided that the task force shall submit its final annual report to the legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular session of 2028. (e) The task force shall cease to exist on December 30, 2027. SECTION 4. New statutory material is underscored. SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect on June 30, 3000.
