MINOR

This bill update shifts the effective date of the law from immediate approval to July 1, 2050, likely to allow for future planning or alignment with long-term infrastructure goals. It also clarifies parking requirements for public hubs by prohibiting minimum stall mandates for non-disabled spaces while maintaining a 25% electric vehicle-ready quota. Additionally, the text adds a specific effective date reference to the housing planning section, ensuring consistency across the document.

TIMELINE

The bill's effective date was changed from 'upon approval' to 'July 1, 2050', delaying when the new rules apply.

A specific effective date of July 1, 2050 was added to the housing planning section to clarify when those obligations begin.

REQUIREMENT

Parking hub rules were updated to ban minimum parking stall requirements for non-disabled spaces, though a 25% EV-ready requirement remains.
