Committee approves removing unfunded electric‑vehicle infrastructure grant language from statute
Summary
Representative John Milligan told a House committee that Senate Bill 4 16 strikes language establishing an electric vehicle infrastructure grant program that was never funded; the committee approved a do‑pass recommendation by voice vote.
Representative John Milligan, of House District 33, told a House committee on Oct. 12, 2025, that Senate Bill 4 16 would remove statutory language establishing an electric vehicle infrastructure grant program because the program was never funded.
“All this bill does is strike out all the language and strikes that program,” Milligan told the committee. “Real simple,” he added. Milligan said money never made it to Energy and Environment (E and E), and the bill is strictly intended to remove the unfunded program language from statute.
No members of the public signed up to speak for or against the bill, and committee members did not ask substantive questions. Milligan closed the presentation and asked for a do‑pass recommendation; the committee approved the recommendation by voice vote. The transcript records the chair’s announcement, “Hearing none. Congratulations. Passes,” but does not show a roll‑call tally.
Sponsor and procedural notes
Milligan said he was running the bill at the request of Representative Shepherd, on behalf of Shane Corey. The bill, as explained in committee, does not reallocate funding or create a new appropriation; it removes language for a grant program that committee members noted had not received money.
Next steps
The committee recommended the bill for further consideration. The transcript does not record a floor schedule or any amendments requested during the hearing.
