Senate Bill 318 amends the Government Code to authorize the Texas Military Preparedness Commission to make a grant to an eligible local governmental entity to construct infrastructure and other projects necessary to prevent the reduction or closing of a defense facility and to accommodate a retained military mission at a military base. The bill increases the cap on a grant awarded by the commission and authorizes an eligible local governmental entity to use the proceeds of a grant to purchase or lease equipment to train workers to support the mission at military installations or defense facilities.
