HB 1512, sponsored by Rep. Jake Fey (D–Tacoma), allows municipal electric utilities to adopt plans that promote the electrification of the transportation system. The plan must establish a finding that utility outreach and investment in the electrification of transportation infrastructure is cost-effective, using an industry-recognized cost test which could include a ratepayer impact measure or total resource cost.

AWC supports this bill.
