Public parking charges; prohibit certain municipalities from charging for attending county, city, state or federal bldg. business.

SB 2446 prohibits municipalities with populations over 145,000 (based on the 2020 census) from charging parking fees on public streets adjacent to county, city, state, or federal government buildings. It specifically bans fees for individuals who are required to appear at these buildings (e.g., for court, permits, or public services) or for the reasonable time needed to access those services. The law would take effect July 1, 2025, and applies only to large municipalities like Jackson. However, the bill died in committee on March 4, 2025, and is not currently law.
