What’s in it
This bill requires the department of transportation (DOT) to establish and administer an electric vehicle charging station grant program. The bill creates an electric vehicle charging station grant fund in the state treasury and appropriates $5,382,117 to the fund from the Iowa comprehensive petroleum underground storage tank fund. The DOT must use the moneys in the fund to provide grants pursuant to the grant program. The DOT must adopt rules to administer the grant program, including rules providing for an application process and for the criteria necessary to award grants to applicants that plan to build electric vehicle charging stations in urban areas or in areas near an interstate or primary road that is frequently used by long distance travelers.

The DOT may establish a limit on the amount of moneys that may be awarded as a grant in order to maximize the use of the moneys in the fund.
