Authorizes school districts to establish electric vehicle certification programs.*

This bill authorizes county vocational school districts with existing automotive programs to create electric vehicle (EV) certification programs. It allows these schools to partner with private companies to develop training for EV-related careers - including automotive technology, engineering, and maintenance - and issue certifications to students who complete the programs. The bill requires schools to identify needed skills, develop training curricula, and may consult national industry standards or the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities during program design. The certification directly benefits students seeking career opportunities in the growing EV industry.
