Bill > HB0132

This bill makes several changes related to the military in Utah, including updating the definition of "military land" to include the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant, requiring municipalities to develop compatible use plans for areas within 5,000 feet of military land to ensure new developments don't interfere with military operations, and reducing the number of permanent members on the Veterans and Military Affairs Commission from 18 to 17 while allowing for one additional pro tempore member. Additionally, the bill expands the types of gifts the National Guard can accept, such as for humanitarian programs or disaster response, and clarifies that these funds are non-lapsing, meaning they don't return to the General Fund at the end of a fiscal year. The bill also specifies that these changes will take effect on May 6, 2026.
