Today the House passed HB 2919 by S. King. This bill would require the "defense community" around Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene to consult with base authorities before adopting an ordinance or approving a permit for a proposed structure within 8 miles of the base.
Fortunately this bill was not amended with language from HB 2056 by Gallego/SB 2439 by Uresti, HB 143 by McClendon, or SB 2222 and SB 2223 by Van de Putte. All of these bills would give counties direct land use control on private property surrounding bases.
