Armory Land Transfer Advances in Legislature
The House Mental Health-Mental Retardation Committee approved HB 1286 by Rep. Jake Johnson to authorize transferring up to 6.8 acres of San Antonio State Hospital property to the Texas National Guard Armory Board for a potential new armory on the South Side. Land use would revert to MHMR if no armory is built within three years, with the armory board to manage the site with conservation in mind. Two ecology bills by San Antonio representatives were sent to subcommittees: HB 507 to let the Water Quality Board designate ecological contaminants and regulate or ban them, and HB 1262 to raise the minimum fine for dumping trash on a public road, both advancing for study.
