AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the federal Access Board (the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board) to finalize, within 18 months, a rule it proposed in September 2024 on accessibility guidelines for electric vehicle charging stations. The final rule would have to include minimum standards and accessibility guidelines for these stations. If the Board misses the deadline, the proposed rule would automatically be treated as final and published in the Federal Register. The Secretary of Transportation and the Attorney General would then have 180 days to issue regulations adopting the guidelines.
