Military Land ExchangesMost legislative chairmen chose not to convene their committees during the first week of the session. An exception to the rule was Senator John Nelson, whose Committee on Natural Resources and Transportation met on January 9 to consider a pair of companion bills, SB 1001 (military preservation; land exchanges) and SCR 1001 (military preservation; land exchanges). Together, these bills provide expanded authority for the exchange of state trust lands for other public lands to preserve or protect military installations. (SCR 1001 is a ballot referral measure to amend the state constitution - a requisite to effect the provisions of SB 1001.)To promote the interests of our military cities, the League supports the bills, both of which are sponsored by Chairman Nelson. The bills passed out of committee unanimously but were held by the majority caucus committee. |
