SB 561 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 68 (Real and Personal Property) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in creation, alteration and termination of condominiums, providing for electric vehicle charging stations; in creation, alteration and termination of cooperatives, providing for electric vehicle charging stations; and, in creation, alteration and termination of planned communities, providing for electric vehicle charging stations.

SB 561 allows condominium unit owners, cooperative proprietary lessees, and planned community residents to install personal electric vehicle charging stations in assigned parking areas or with limited common element approval. It requires homeowners' associations to approve such installations within 60 days (unless more information is needed) and prohibits them from banning compliant chargers. The bill sets requirements including installation by licensed electricians, owner responsibility for costs and insurance ($1 million liability coverage), and the need for owners to remove chargers when selling their unit. Associations may impose reasonable architectural standards, review fees, and restrictions that don't significantly increase costs or reduce efficiency.
