Providing for enforcement actions for property damage of electric vehicle charging stations.

HB 2005 makes it a crime to intentionally damage or steal electric vehicle (EV) charging stations or related infrastructure, with penalties increasing based on the damage value: a gross misdemeanor for under $1,000, a class C felony for $1,000-$5,000, and a class B felony for over $5,000. It requires offenders to pay restitution to station owners, allows victims to sue for up to $5,000 in damages plus legal fees, and directs additional fines to transportation funds. The law excludes accidental damage by utility workers and defines "electric vehicle charging station" to include related equipment and remote management systems. This bill directly affects vandals/thieves targeting EV infrastructure and protects station owners/operators.
