Senate Bill to Create Military Land Use Control Commissions Sent to House Calendars

Today SB 2222 by Van de Putte (House Sponsor Corte) was sent to the House Calendars Committee. This bill would allow a county with unincorporated area and a city with extraterritorial jurisdiction located within 5 miles of a military installation to create a “regional military sustainability commission” (RMSC). This commission would establish "compatible development standards" and review new projects within 2 miles of a military installation (3 miles if created during flight training).

Now is the time to contact members of the House Calendars Committee, and ask them to keep SB 2222 from coming to the House Floor. Representatives on this committee are McCall (chair), Lucio (vice chair), Chavez, Coleman, Cook, Creighton, Geren, Keffer, Kolkhorst, Kuempel (in hospital recovering from heart attack), McReynolds, Ritter, and Solomons.
