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.

House Defense & Veterans' Affairs Hearing Wednesday, April 15th
The House Defense & Veterans' Affairs Committee has scheduled HB 4130 and HJR 132 (both authored by Chairman Corte) for public hearing on Wednesday, April 15th at 8 am in E2.026 at the Capitol.
HB 4130, enabling legislation for HJR 132, would 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.
Corte's proposed legislation 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 HB 2056 by Gallego/SB 2439 by Uresti for Laughlin Air Force Base in Del Rio and HB 143 by McClendon for Camp Bullis in San Antonio).
The House Defense & Veterans' Affairs Committee left both HB 2056 and HB 143 pending after hearing testimony on March 25th.

TLC Opposes County Zoning
TLC was hard at work today, explaining the threat to private property rights that proposed legislation giving counties broad regulatory authority over land use poses. Jimmy and Lauren distributed TLC's position statements opposing SB 578 by Wentworth and HB 2167 by Rose to legislators' staff.
SB 578 has been referred to the Senate Intergovernmental Relations Committee, of which Wentworth is a member; HB 2167 has been referred to the House Land & Resource Management Committee.
Other county land use regulation bills TLC opposes include: SB 1226 and SB 1227 by Fraser (referred to Senate Business & Commerce, of which Fraser is Chair), HB 2056 by Gallego (referred to House Defense and Veterans' Affairs) and companion SB 2439 by Uresti, HB 1119 by Bolton (referred to House Land & Resource Management), and HB 143 by McClendon (referred to House Defense and Veterans' Affairs).
