This bill amends sections 81-1108.15 and 81-1108.17 of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska to provide for free offstreet parking for state employees at all state-owned or leased facilities, effective July 1, 2028. The bill also modifies existing provisions regarding charges for state buildings and facilities, ensuring that the system of charges will now include funding for adequate offstreet parking for state employees. Additionally, it updates the responsibilities of the Department of Administrative Services and the State Building Administrator concerning the management and maintenance of state properties, including the requirement to remit parking proceeds to the State Building Revolving Fund.

The bill includes several insertions and deletions to clarify the roles and responsibilities of state agencies in relation to facilities planning, construction, and administration. Notably, it specifies that the proceeds from parking charges will now be directed to a newly established fund for maintaining parking for state employees and visitors, rather than the previously designated Capitol Buildings Parking Revolving Fund. The bill ultimately aims to enhance the management of state facilities while ensuring that state employees have access to free parking.
