Specifically, it allows nonprofit organizations to receive a certificate of occupancy for charging stations even if they aren't fully operational, provided certain conditions are met, such as having installed all required infrastructure and obtaining utility service connection documentation. It also clarifies how revenues from greenhouse gas allowance allocations are credited to residential customers of electrical corporations, and establishes a process for allocating a portion of those revenues to clean energy projects.
