Bill > HB820

This bill requires the Montana University System (MUS) to provide free on-campus parking permits to veterans and Montana National Guard service members who are faculty, staff, or students. The bill mandates that the regents of the MUS direct each university president to not charge parking fees for these service members and to give them preference when issuing parking permits. To qualify for a free permit, veterans and National Guard members must provide proof of their service to their campus parking permitting office. Each university president retains the authority to create specific rules about implementing these free parking provisions. The bill is intended to be added to Title 20, Chapter 25, Part 3 of Montana's legal code, which suggests it is part of the state's education regulations. By offering free parking, the bill aims to provide a tangible benefit to those who have served in the military, potentially making higher education more accessible and supportive for veterans and National Guard members in Montana.
