Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill HB 577 clarify that "Homestead Air Force Base" now specifically includes both the current property of the Homestead Air Reserve Base and any previously federal property that is transferred to local government after July 1, 2024. Additionally, the references to Tyndall Air Force Base property have been removed from the bill. This change is important because it defines the scope of properties that will be included under the regulation, ensuring clear governance over these areas as they transition to local control.
