TO REPEAL THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT PROGRAM; AND TO REPEAL THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE FUND.

SB 416 repeals Arkansas' Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Grant Program and the associated Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund. The bill ends the state's funding mechanism that provided grants to public or private entities for building Level 2 and Level 3 EV charging stations. This directly affects the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment, which previously administered these programs and used the dedicated fund for EV infrastructure projects. The repeal eliminates both the program and the fund, halting future state funding for EV charging infrastructure under these specific provisions.
