A bipartisan bill from Sen. Marko Liias (D–Edmonds) seeks to standardize labor standards related to the installation of electric vehicle (EV) supply equipment in the state. SB 5528 requires that workers installing EV supply equipment at state-funded facilities must be certified by the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program or a similarly accredited program.

AWC seeks feedback from cities on the impact of the bill regarding current practices and training and certification requirements for city workers installing EV supply equipment.

Date to remember

SB 5528 is scheduled for public hearing in the Senate Labor & Commerce Committee on Monday, February 3 at 10:30 am.
