1 5. The office of general services shall be responsible for the instal-
2 lation of any electric vehicle supply equipment and charging stations.

9 licensed electrician or similar service provider to upgrade the elec-
10 trical capacity of said facility. Such contracted work shall comply with

12 of a wage of not less than the prevailing wage in the locality where
13 such parking facility is located.

15 nance, general upkeep and repair of any electric vehicle supply equip-
16 ment and charging stations. If the office of general services is unable

19 work on said equipment.
20 § 2. This act shall take effect on the first of April next succeeding
21 the date on which it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the
22 addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary
23 for the implementation of this act on its effective date are authorized
24 to be made and completed on or before such effective date.
