Bill > SF3084

This bill prohibits the state from charging parking fees to state employees at state-owned or operated parking facilities. Specifically, the bill amends existing statutes to require that state employees can park for free at any parking lot or facility owned, rented, or operated by the state when they are either working within the scope of their employment or have written approval from their manager or supervisor. The commissioner of administration must provide each state employee with a parking permit that exempts them from parking fees, fines, and other penalties, with the only exception being removal of a vehicle required for specific safety or administrative reasons. This change aims to eliminate parking costs for state employees at state-owned facilities, potentially reducing a financial burden on government workers and simplifying parking policies for state-owned properties in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The bill modifies sections of Minnesota Statutes related to state property management and parking facility operations, ensuring that state employees can park without incurring additional expenses.
