Legislation introduced in the current session of the Maryland General Assembly would include electric bicycles within the requirements for electric charging stations at condominiums. House
Bill 159 would amend Section 11-111.4 of the Condominium Act to expressly include electric bicycles along with motor vehicles subject to the Section's requirements. Section 11-111.4 provides that condominiums cannot prohibit or unreasonably restrict the installation or use of electrical vehicle charging equipment. If approval is required for the installation or use, the condominium is required to review the application as it would any submission for approval of an architectural modification. It may not willfully avoid or delay review, and, if the condominium does not deny the application in writing within 60 days, it is deemed to have been approved, unless the delay is caused by a reasonable request for additional information. The Bill is pending before the House Environmental and Transportation Committee.
