Senate Bill No. [insert bill number] proposes to revise the eligibility criteria for disability parking permits in Montana by allowing pregnant women to qualify for a temporary disability parking permit. The bill stipulates that a temporary permit can be issued for a period not to exceed one year, provided that a licensed physician, certified midwife, or licensed advanced practice registered nurse submits the necessary certification. Additionally, the bill introduces a $10 fee for the issuance of this temporary permit, with the collected fees to be deposited into the state general fund.

The bill amends Section 49-4-301 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to include the new eligibility criteria for pregnant women, while maintaining existing provisions for individuals with disabilities that limit their mobility. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
