House Bill 215 and Senate Bill 486 propose the appropriation of $25,000,000 for the planning and construction of a new parking garage designated for legislative employees. This garage is to be built on the north side of the Cordell Hull Building and will 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 act emphasizes the importance of this project for the convenience of legislative employees and is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting the urgency of the public welfare in this matter.
