Nearly a year ago, a parking garage at Bayshore collapsed under the weight of heavy snow.
Lawmakers who back the bill hope to prevent other incidents like the February 2023 Bayshore Mall parking garage collapse.
The proposed legislation would require inspections every five years. Under current statutes, no inspections are required after construction.
The cause of the partial collapse of the Silver Spring Parking Garage will be determined by Bayshore's insurance company, but Glendale's mayor isn't waiting on the results to call for change.
The parking lot structure was built in 2005-2006, according to Bayshore Town Center officials, who are working with structural engineers and designers to determine the cause of the collapse.
