S988 sets standards that force businesses to put electric vehicle chargers into parking lots if they expand old lots or create new ones.
The Rhode Island Senate passed S988 on June 16, 2023, by a vote of 28 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this expands government by pushing for interventions infringing on individual freedoms and economic liberties. Tax dollars should not go toward complying with any aspect of the UN’s Agenda 2030, as it is not constitutional. Additionally, this legislation creates more government interference in the free-market economy and advances the Marxist climate change agenda. Businesses should have the freedom to conduct business without the government meddling in their affairs by setting unrealistic and costly regulations.
