DIGEST 

Currently, under S.B. 1108, 75th Legislature, the Joint Airport Zoning
Board received a two-year extension on its land use of Reese Air Force Base
and its surrounding area. This bill would extend the land use of Reese Air
Force Base and its surrounding area an additional two years, giving the
local authority more time to attract economic development. 

PURPOSE

As proposed, S.B. 214 authorizes an airport closed by the federal
government to continue zoning regulations in effect until the fourth,
rather than second, anniversary of the date the airport closed. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, institution, or agency.
