SB 547 Montana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise eligibility for disabled parking permit laws

SB 547 revises Montana's disabled parking permit rules to add eligibility for pregnant women. It allows pregnant individuals certified by a physician, certified midwife, or nurse to receive a temporary disability parking permit valid for up to one year. The bill also establishes a $10 fee for this permit, with the collected funds deposited into the state general fund. These changes specifically affect pregnant residents needing short-term parking accommodations due to medical conditions, while maintaining existing eligibility criteria for other disabilities.
