House Bill 1013

House Author:  Corte et al.

Effective:  6-19-09

Senate Sponsor:  Wentworth et al.


            Current law authorizes a county, any part of which is located immediately adjacent to a United States military installation, base, or camp, on request of the military, to regulate the installation and use of outdoor lighting within five miles of the military installation, base, or camp in any unincorporated territory of the county.

            House Bill 1013 amends the Local Government Code to limit the authority of a county to regulate such installation and use of outdoor lighting to a county with a population of more than one million that has at least five United States military bases and to any county adjacent to that county that is within five miles of a United States Army installation, base, or camp.
