 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 201-b
 2 to read as follows:
 3 § 201-b. Electric vehicle charging stations. 1. For the purposes of
 4 this section, the term "parking facility" shall mean a parking garage,
 5 parking structure, or open parking lot that is paved and striped to
 6 designate individual parking spaces for vehicles and which has fifty
 7 parking spaces or more.
 8 2. Any parking facility owned and operated by the state of New York,
 9 that offers between fifty and two hundred parking spaces for the
 10 purposes of public use, state employee use and pay-per-usage, is hereby
 11 required to install electric charging stations in at least ten percent
 12 of the total number of parking spaces offered by such facility.
 13 3. Any parking facility owned and operated by the state of New York,
 14 that offers more than two hundred parking spaces for the purposes of
 15 public use, state employee use and pay-per-usage, is hereby required to
 16 install electric charging stations in at least twenty percent of the
 17 total number of parking spaces offered by such facility.
 18 4. Each electric vehicle charging station required pursuant to this
 19 section shall support electric vehicle charging with a minimum of forty
 20 amperes and two hundred eight volts of electrical capacity. Such elec-
 21 tric vehicle charging stations and all other components and work appur-
 22 tenant thereto shall be in accordance with all applicable state, county,

 1 5. The office of general services shall be responsible for the instal-
 2 lation of any electric vehicle supply equipment and charging stations.
 3 If such installation shall require the state to make upgrades to any
 4 electrical supply equipment to safely and sufficiently power and operate
 5 such charging stations, the office of general services shall increase
 6 the electrical capacity of the existing system by installing new compo-
 7 nents as necessary. If the office of general services is unable to make
 8 such technical upgrades to a facility, the office may contract with a
 9 licensed electrician or similar service provider to upgrade the elec-
 10 trical capacity of said facility. Such contracted work shall comply with
 11 the provisions of article eight of the labor law, including the payment
 12 of a wage of not less than the prevailing wage in the locality where
 13 such parking facility is located.
 14 6. The office of general services shall be responsible for the mainte-
 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
 17 to complete such maintenance or repairs, the office may contract with a
 18 licensed electrician or similar repair service to complete the necessary
 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
