Today the House Defense and Veterans' Affairs Committee reported HB 2056 by Gallego and HB 2919 by King favorably as substituted.
TLC testified against HB 2056 on Wednesday, March 25th and registered against HB 2056's companion in the Senate, SB 2439 by Uresti, on Wednesday, April 8th. These bills would create a Joint Airport Zoning Board to regulate the use of private land surrounding Laughlin Air Force Base in Del Rio. Noncompliance would be considered a misdemeanor punishable by fines of up to $1,000 per day.
HB 2919 is co-authored by Committee Vice Chairman Vaught. This bill would require a "defense community" to consult with defense base authorities before adopting an ordinance or approving a permit for a proposed structure within 8 miles of the base.
