Electric vehicle charging infrastructure
Under current law, counties and municipalities where power production plants are located receive public utility aid payments on the basis of the value or megawatt capacity of the plant. Generally, the amount of the payment to a county or municipality is determined by applying a mill rate to a specified amount of the license fees paid by the power production plant located in the county and municipality.
This bill provides utility aid payments to counties and municipalities where qualified electric vehicle charging infrastructure is located. The bill defines “qualified electric vehicle charging infrastructure” as level 3 electric vehicle supply equipment that has a minimum charging capacity of 480 volts and that is owned by a light, heat, and power company, electric cooperative, or municipal electric company. Under the bill, DOA annually distributes to each county and municipality in which qualified electric vehicle charging infrastructure is located an amount equal to the value of the qualified electric vehicle charging infrastructure, multiplied by three mills for a county and by six mills for a municipality. However, if the qualified electric vehicle charging infrastructure is located in a town, the town receives a payment equal to the value of the qualified electric vehicle charging infrastructure multiplied by three mills and the county where the town is located receives a payment equal to the value of the qualified electric vehicle charging infrastructure multiplied by six mills.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
