House Bill 1665

House Author:  King, Susan

Effective:  6-17-11

Senate Sponsor:  Fraser


            House Bill 1665 amends Local Government Code provisions that are applicable to a defense community that includes a municipality with a population of more than 110,000 located in a county with a population of less than 135,000 and that has not adopted airport zoning regulations under the Airport Zoning Act.  The bill requires such a community that proposes to approve a proposed structure or adopt or amend an ordinance, rule, or plan in an area located within eight miles of the boundary line of a defense base to notify, rather than seek comments and analysis from, the defense base authorities concerning the compatibility of the proposal with base operations. The bill removes language that included an area located within eight miles of the military exercise or training activities connected to the base in the requirement.
