Require free on-campus parking permits for veterans and Montana national guard service members
HB 820, a proposed bill withdrawn on March 1, 2025, would have required Montana University System campuses to provide free on-campus parking permits to veteran and Montana National Guard service member faculty, staff, and students. It mandated that universities not charge parking fees for these individuals, give them preference in permit allocation, and require proof of service to qualify. The bill would have applied directly to eligible individuals at all Montana public universities, with university presidents allowed to establish specific implementation rules. This proposal never became law, as it was withdrawn before final action.
