 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
 2025–2026 REGULAR SESSION

 Senate Bill

No. 314

Introduced by Senator Padilla

February 10, 2025

An act to amend Sections 12500, 12501.1, and 12509.5 of, and to add Section Sections 12509.1 and 12509.6 to, the Business and Professions Code, relating to weights and measures.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 314, as amended, Padilla.
 Weights and measures: electric vehicle supply equipment.

Existing law provides that the Department of Food and Agriculture has general supervision of the weights and measures and weighing and measuring devices sold or used in the state, including devices used to measure electricity sold as a motor vehicle fuel. Existing law regulates the use and repair of weighing or measuring devices. Existing law authorizes a device to be placed in service only by a sealer or a service agency. Existing law prohibits, until January 1, 2028, requiring electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) to be retested or placed in service by a service agency or sealer, if the EVSE has previously been placed in service by a service agency or sealer, before the EVSE is used after receiving maintenance, as specified.

This bill would authorize an EVSE that has been audited or tested by the manufacturer or supplier to be used
 commercially without further testing during the remainder of the inspection period adopted by the Secretary of Food and Agriculture, but not until it has been sealed by a sealer. The bill would, among other things, require the county sealer to ensure that certain EVSE installed before January 1, 2026, are initially placed in service and tested by a sealer on or before January 1, 2027, at no additional cost other than the registration fees paid by the EVSE owner or operator. The bill would, until January 1, 2028, among other things, exempt an EVSE installed in a workplace for the exclusive use of its employees, or installed in a residence, including a multifamily residential dwelling, for the exclusive use of the residents, from specified laws, and would authorize an EVSE, following installation, to be used in connection with the sale of electricity as a motor vehicle fuel without being placed into service by a service agency or sealer, a specified. The bill would authorize a county to take specified actions in order to support county oversight of EVSE and build capacity.
 if an EVSE has previously been placed in service, no longer require the EVSE to be retested or placed in service by a service agency or sealer before the EVSE is used after receiving maintenance in a manner that does not affect the EVSE being correct. The bill would require the Division of Measurement Standards to develop an optional pathway for compliance with specified laws using factory auditing and inspection for the EVSE, Standards, on or before January 1, 2027, to issue guidance and develop statewide resources relevant to weights and measures for EVSE, as specified, and to consider specified information when developing
 the pathway for compliance. and implement optional pathways for EVSE testing and placed-in-service requirements, including in-factory auditing or testing and certification by a factory- or supplier-registered service agency.
