Massachusetts H3455 mandates streamlined permitting for electric vehicle charging stations and updates parking requirements.

Massachusetts H3455 requires local governments to adopt ordinances for expedited permitting of electric vehicle charging stations, classifying them as permitted accessory and primary use. It mandates that parking spaces with charging stations count as standard automobile parking spaces in compliance with parking requirements. The Department of Energy Resources and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation must develop a model ordinance for local governments to adopt, which they must post on their websites and notify local units of government about.
