The measure has been introduced to the state Senate.

If the bill passes the Senate and is signed into law, it could discourage “ICEing” campaigns where nogoodniks intentionally park gas cars (usually trucks and SUVs) at chargers to make life miserable for EV drivers. In the long run, it could also minimize crowding at stations as EVs become more popular, encouraging drivers to leave as soon as they’ve topped up rather than hogging a spot during a shopping trip.
