Steps
Confirm the local jurisdiction has adopted an AB 1236-compliant EV charging station ordinance limiting review to health-and-safety issues only (no aesthetic/landscaping review)
Use the jurisdiction's standardized checklist application; a complete checklist submission should get same-day issuance where AB 970 timelines are followed
If the project needs additional review beyond the checklist, confirm the 5-business-day timeline applies, and track the "deemed approved" trigger if the jurisdiction doesn't act within the statutory window
Check the statewide compliance tracker (GO-Biz Plug-In Readiness) for whether the specific jurisdiction is rated "streamlined" or still "in process," since compliance varies by city/county
Known gotchas
AB 1236 sunsets January 1, 2030 — don't cite it as a permanent standard when advising on longer-horizon program design
Statewide compliance is not universal — roughly a quarter of California jurisdictions were still not fully streamlined as of the most recent tracked data, so verify the specific AHJ rather than assuming statewide compliance
