House Bill No. [insert bill number] mandates that the Montana University System provide free on-campus parking permits for faculty, staff, and students who are veterans or members of the Montana National Guard. The bill prohibits the regents of the Montana University System from charging parking permit fees to these individuals and requires that they be given preference when parking permits are issued. To qualify for the free permit, veterans and service members must present proof of their service to the parking permitting office at their respective university unit.

Additionally, the bill allows the president of each university unit to establish rules regarding the provision of these free parking permits. The new section introduced in the bill is intended to be codified as part of Title 20, chapter 25, part 3 of the Montana Code Annotated, ensuring that the provisions outlined in the bill are integrated into existing law.
