House Bill 215, sponsored by Rudd, proposes an appropriation of $25,000,000 for the planning and construction of a new parking garage designated for legislative employees. This garage will be built on the north side of the Cordell Hull Building and is intended to provide at least 400 parking spaces exclusively for the use of legislative staff. The funding is allocated for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025.

The bill emphasizes the necessity of this new facility to support legislative operations and enhance accessibility for employees. It is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, underscoring the urgency of the project for the public welfare.
