State director will reserve parking for pregnant visitors

The Director of the Office of Management and Budget must designate one or more parking spaces for pregnant people at listed state-owned facilities. The sites include state motor vehicle offices, service centers, and other listed facilities, or successor locations serving the same function. At listed facilities leased by the State, the Director is encouraged to work with the lessor to designate spaces; this is not required. The Act takes effect six months after enactment, on December 24, 2026.

Drivers may not stop, stand, or park in a space reserved under § 6309A unless they are the person, or part of the group, for whom it is reserved. This applies to spaces designated under § 6309A of Title 29, including spaces reserved for pregnant people. The restriction does not apply when stopping is necessary to avoid conflict with traffic or to obey a police officer or traffic-control device. A violation involving a § 6309A space is not subject to a civil penalty under § 4178. This provision takes effect six months after enactment, on December 24, 2026.

The Director is encouraged to consider reserved spaces for pregnant people at future state-owned and leased facilities where feasible. This concerns future facilities owned or leased by the State. This asks the Director to consider spaces where feasible; it does not require their designation. This provision takes effect six months after enactment, on December 24, 2026.
