The bill, H.B. No. 3275, proposes to amend the Local Government Code by adding Section 214.909, which restricts municipalities from adopting or enforcing ordinances that mandate a minimum number of parking spaces for commercial buildings. This restriction is applicable to buildings whose construction is completed on or after September 1, 2025. However, the bill allows municipalities to regulate accessible parking for individuals with disabilities in compliance with state or federal laws.

The legislation aims to reduce regulatory burdens on commercial development by eliminating minimum parking requirements, thereby potentially encouraging more efficient land use and development practices. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, aligning the implementation of these changes with the completion of affected buildings.
