What it does

In 2019, the general assembly passed legislation relating to an excise tax on electricity used as electric fuel in motor vehicles, including by providing for electric fuel dealer and user licenses. That legislation takes effect July 1, 2023. This bill amends the 2019 legislation to require a public utility that applies for an electric fuel dealer license or an electric fuel user license to make such application only through a separate, non-rate-regulated affiliate that cannot be cross-subsidized; cannot receive any unfair competitive advantage by any rate, fee, or charge associated with the public utility’s regulated service offerings; and cannot use electricity for charging under different fees, terms, rates, charges, and conditions than those offered to other licensed electric fuel dealers or other licensed electric fuel users, pursuant to the public utility’s approved tariffs.
