Yesterday the Senate Subcommittee on Base Realignment and Closure reported HJR 132 by Corte (Senate Sponsor Wentworth) favorably.
This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to allow a city or county to issue bonds or notes to finance the acquisition of buffer areas or open spaces or the construction of roadways or infrastructure around military installations.
HJR 132 would allow cities and counties to purchase land surrounding a military installation as opposed to allowing counties to use private land as a buffer area or open space around a base through regulation without compensation as would be allowed by SB 2222 by Van de Putte (House Sponsor Corte) and SB 2223 by Van de Putte, SB 2439 by Uresti for Laughlin Air Force Base in Del Rio and HB 2919 by S. King (Senate Sponsor Fraser) for Dyess Air Force Base in San Antonio.
