Bill Summary
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 100 to define terms; amend KRS 100.133 and 100.137 to allow the inclusion of a nonvoting ex officio member of a planning unit to be a representative of a military installation to advise on matters relating to national security and other concerns for the military installation; provide that the Act may be cited as the Military Installation Protection Act.
AI Summary
This bill, also known as the Military Installation Protection Act, allows for the inclusion of a nonvoting representative from a military installation as an ex officio member on a planning commission. A "military installation" is defined by federal law (10 U.S.C. sec. 2801(c)(4)), and a "representative of the military installation" can be a current or former service member or a civilian closely associated with the military, appointed by the installation's commanding officer. This representative would serve to advise the planning commission on matters concerning national security and other relevant concerns for the military installation, and their inclusion is optional for the planning unit. The bill amends existing laws (KRS 100.133 and 100.137) to incorporate this provision, ensuring that planning decisions can consider the unique needs and security interests of nearby military bases.
