Military installations; local government, approval to construct nearby tall structures required, authorized to seek enjoinment of violative construction
HB 329 requires individuals and companies to obtain local government approval before constructing tall structures, defined as over 200 feet, within two miles of a military installation. To gain approval, applicants must provide documentation from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirming no hazard to air navigation or a resolution of any adverse impact on military operations. The bill also establishes specific review processes for wind energy facilities. Local governments are authorized to seek court orders to stop construction that proceeds without the required approval, aiming to protect military operations and readiness.
