TO CREATE THE TECHNOLOGY AND ENERGY FOR SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS ACT (TESLA); AND TO ADD ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS TO THE DEFINITION OF "CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE".

House Bill 1980 aimed to create the Technology and Energy for Sustainable Logistics Act (TESLA). A primary provision of the bill was to add electric vehicle charging stations to the definition of "critical infrastructure." This change would classify EV charging stations alongside other essential services and facilities, potentially impacting their security and regulation. An amendment to the bill further specified language regarding limiting or restricting unauthorized access or use of these facilities.
