State Building Code amended to require electric vehicle charging infrastructure in all new residential buildings that provide on-site parking facilities.

HF 1139 requires new residential buildings with on-site parking to include electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, such as EV-ready spaces, EV-capable spaces, or charging stations, either within or adjacent to the building. It directly affects developers and builders constructing new residential properties that provide parking, excluding buildings with fewer than four dwelling units. The bill amends Minnesota's State Building Code to mandate these infrastructure requirements for all qualifying new residential buildings. This policy change aims to support EV adoption by integrating charging capabilities into new housing construction.
