Bill	Transportation electrification: electric vehicle charging stations: payment methods.

Existing law authorizes an electric vehicle charging station to offer services on a subscription- or membership-only basis if the station allows nonsubscribers or nonmembers to use the station through a contactless payment method that accepts major credit and debit cards, as specified, and either an automated toll-free telephone number or a short message system (SMS) that provides the customer with the option to initiate a charging session and submit payment. Existing law authorizes the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, by regulation that is effective no earlier than January 1, 2028, to add to or subtract from those required payment methods, as specified.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20252026	AB 1423	California AB 1423 (20252026)	bill	Transportationelectrification electricvehiclechargingstations paymentmethods	enacted	Irwin	8	30	8	2025-02-21	2025-10-01	openstates	ocd-bill/70b7a565-8041-49e6-bbcf-624a3aac1a84	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1423	283028630a93a978309653fd8d9fbf51881febe9a61bcf52e43b1965543cc935	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
