Summary
Would have required CEC to develop a plan, convene a public workshop process, and take specified actions to improve reliability, service quality, and operational uptime of hydrogen stations. The bill also would have required CEC to conduct an analysis of barriers to improving station performance and develop recommendations for doing so, including, but not limited to, an analysis of the use of a station ranking system and credits issued to hydrogen fueling stations under the LCFS to penalize and award retail hydrogen refueling stations based on their performance. Held on suspense in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
