Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to state government; prohibiting the assessment of fees or other charges when state employees park at facilities owned or operated by the state; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 16B.04, subdivision 2; 16B.58, subdivision 1, by adding a subdivision.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits the Minnesota Commissioner of Administration from charging state employees parking fees at state-owned or state-operated parking facilities. Specifically, the bill mandates that state employees cannot be charged for parking when they are either working within the scope of their employment or have received written approval from their manager or supervisor to park at a state facility. The commissioner is required to provide each state employee with a parking permit that exempts them from all parking-related charges, fines, and penalties, with the only exception being vehicle removal required under specific existing legal provisions. This change modifies existing statutes related to state property management and parking facilities, effectively ensuring that state employees can park at state facilities without incurring additional costs. The bill aims to provide a benefit to state workers by eliminating parking fees at state-owned or state-operated lots and facilities within the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, potentially reducing financial burden on government employees.
