BUILDING CODE – Adds to existing law to prohibit laws that require electric vehicle charging stations or parking spaces in any building plan and to provide for preemption of local laws and ordinances.

H 86 prohibits Idaho state and local governments from requiring electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, designated EV parking spaces, or upgraded electrical infrastructure for EVs in building plans. It specifically bans these requirements for new construction and renovations, overriding any existing local laws that might have mandated such infrastructure. The bill applies statewide, preventing cities or counties from setting their own EV charging requirements for buildings. This law directly affects developers, builders, and local governments by eliminating mandatory EV infrastructure in building codes.
