   Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known as and may be cited as
 the "build to need act".
   §  2.  Legislative  findings  and intent. The legislature hereby finds
 that in order to achieve the targets set forth in the climate leadership
 and community protection act, zero-emissions vehicle sales targets,  and
 regulations,  including the advanced clean truck and advanced clean cars
 II rules, zero-emissions school bus mandate, and other  relevant  goals,
 the interests of the people of the state would be served by:
   (a) expediting electric grid infrastructure upgrades to facilitate the
 charging of light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty electric vehicles;
   (b)  aligning a proactive planning process for beneficial electrifica-
 tion with the current coordinated grid  planning  process  for  electric
 corporations;
   (c)  ensuring  the  full range of feasible distributed energy resource
 technologies, load management opportunities,  and  expected  electrified
 end uses are incorporated into electric utility investment plans;
   (d)  lowering costs to customers through efficient planning, including
 consideration and deployment of non-wires solutions that reduce or elim-
 inate the need for distribution system upgrades;
   (e) ensuring meaningful  benefits  to  communities  most  affected  by
 large-scale  proactive  utility projects developed under this framework;
 and
   (f) enhancing speed,  flexibility,  and  ease  of  customer  intercon-
 nections (including both loads and distributed generation).
   § 3. The public service law is amended by adding a new section 77-a to
 read as follows:
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
