The bill establishes a centralized accommodation grant program administered by the department of health and human services, aimed at providing financial assistance to individuals with disabilities and their employers. The grants will specifically fund repairs to mobility devices and enhance workplace accessibility. To facilitate the program, the department is tasked with adopting rules that outline eligibility requirements, the application process, and award criteria.

Additionally, the bill creates a centralized accommodation fund within the state treasury, which will be funded by fines and fees from specific violations related to parking for persons with disabilities. The state court administrator is responsible for allocating these fines and fees to the fund, ensuring that the moneys are appropriated for the grant program. The bill also includes provisions that prevent the reversion of funds at the end of the fiscal year, thereby securing ongoing financial support for the program.
