CA SB589

Requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to identify workforce development and training resources as part of the statewide assessment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure needed to support 5 million zero-emission vehicles by 2030 and greenhouse gas reduction goals.

Specifies that projects developing in-state production of raw materials and manufacturing supply chains for zero-emission vehicle components are eligible for funding under the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program.

Expands the commission's required collaborators on workforce development to include California Community Colleges, certified community conservation corps, California Conservation Corps, and the California Mobility Center.

Requires the infrastructure assessment to identify qualified apprenticeships, on-the-job training programs, and other training opportunities that build career pipelines in zero-emission transportation and provide long-term employment in disadvantaged communities.

Maintains the requirement for the commission to update the statewide assessment at least once every two years.
