HB 2064.E - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

Finds that placing a high priority on the continuation of military activities at the military bases located in our state is in the best interest of the state and the United States. The combined efforts of the state and local governments and the private sector, working in partnership with the United States military, will be required to avoid the closure of these bases.

Requires the joint committee on veterans' and military affairs to conduct a Washington military facilities study to determine and coordinate statewide efforts needed to ensure that all military facilities in Washington retain their premier status with respect to their national defense missions.
