Bill Title: Amends the Electric Vehicle Charging Act. Provides that the provisions of the Act shall not apply to any non-profit organization described in specified provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or to any other developer, association, or entity that administers a program to fund and construct tiny homes for veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and in need of secure, long-term affordable housing. Provides that every county and municipality which has the power to issue building permits and otherwise control the construction of buildings shall require by ordinance that an applicant seeking a building permit to construct tiny homes for at-risk veterans must include with the permit application a completed and signed affidavit stating that all buildings constructed under the permit are designated for the exclusive use of qualifying veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and in need of secure, long-term affordable housing. Prohibits counties and municipalities, including home rule units, from adopting any building code or ordinance that requires EV-capable parking spaces for tiny homes constructed for the purpose of providing affordable housing for at-risk veterans. Limits the concurrent exercise of home rule powers. Defines terms. Effective immediately.
