This Amendment to House Bill No.

Plain English Breakdown

The official text does not specify which buildings are considered 'certain designated state buildings.'

Reserved Parking Spaces for Pregnant Persons in State Buildings

This amendment requires state officials to set aside special parking spots for pregnant people at specific buildings owned by the government.

What This Bill Does

• Requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to designate one or more reserved parking spaces for pregnant persons at certain designated state-owned buildings and facilities.
• Encourages the Director to work with property owners (lessors) to create these spots if the State leases a building instead of owning it.
• Directs the Director to consider adding similar parking spaces at future state-owned or leased facilities where feasible.

Who It Names or Affects

• Pregnant persons who visit designated state buildings and facilities.
• The Director of the Office of Management and Budget, who must manage these changes for owned properties and is encouraged to act on others.
• Property owners or lessors if the State rents a building location.

Terms To Know

Director of the Office of Management and Budget

The state official responsible for designating parking spaces at government facilities under this law.

Lessor

Limits and Unknowns

• The requirement to designate parking spaces applies only if the State owns the location.
• For leased locations and future facilities, the law uses 'encouraged' or 'consider,' meaning there is no strict mandate to create these spots.
