- Legislation targets large parking lots to protect state’s waterways
Governor Josh Stein signed House Bill 162 into law to eliminate mandatory minimum parking requirements, aiming to reduce stormwater runoff and construction costs while enabling local governments to incentivize development. The legislation, supported by developers and environmental groups, targets large parking lots as pollution sources and passed both legislative chambers with near-unanimous support.
