Relating to a study conducted by the Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities regarding parking for certain individuals with disabilities.
HB 1136 mandates the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to conduct a study on parking needs for individuals with disabilities, including disabled veterans and those with mobility impairments who qualify for special parking permits under state law. The study will compile data on the current and projected population eligible for these permits, review existing parking laws and enforcement, and gather local citation data on parking violations. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles must submit a report by December 1, 2026, to state leaders with findings on current parking allocation efficiency and recommendations for future needs. This bill does not change existing parking laws but requires data-driven analysis to inform potential future policy.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to change the responsible entity from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to the Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities, which now leads the study on parking needs for individuals with disabilities. Several agencies were added to assist in the study, and the reporting requirements were updated to reflect the new lead agency.
Scope change
The primary scope change is the shift in responsibility from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to the Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities, which now directs the study and reporting process.
DEFINITION
Changed the definition of 'department' to 'committee' to reflect that the Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities is now the lead agency.
REQUIREMENT
Updated the study requirements to specify that the Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities, along with the Department of Public Safety, Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and Texas Demographic Center, will conduct the study.
