On 5 November 1959, Schulz became a member of the Landtag of Lower Austria, succeeding {{ill|Viktor Müllner|de}}.{{Cite book |last=Riepl |first=Hermann |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rDwpAQAAMAAJ&q=%22Schulz%22 |title=Fünfzig Jahre Landtag von Niederösterreich |date=1972 |publisher=Office of the Lower Austrian State Government |volume=2 |location=Vienna |pages=274 |language=de |trans-title=Fifty years of the Lower Austrian Parliament |oclc=938213}} During her tenure, she introduced a bill which would update regulations to the state's spas and health resorts, superseding a 1930 law which had become redundant due to scientific advances in balneology. Specifically, the law clarifies when a spa can be considered a health resort, prevents towns without spas from calling themselves spa towns, and establishes construction and sanitation regulations.{{Cite journal |date=30 May 1963 |title=Redner: Frau Abg.
