HB 348 -- Military Preparedness and Enhancement Commission

Sponsor:  Pearce

This bill establishes the Missouri Military Preparedness and
Enhancement Commission to design and implement measures to
protect, retain, and enhance the present and future mission
capabilities of military posts and bases around the state.

The commission's duties will include preparing a biennial
strategic plan and an annual report.  The seven-member commission
will meet quarterly, or more often if additional meetings are
deemed necessary by the chair.  Funding for the commission will
be by appropriation, and the Department of Economic Development
will provide administrative support staff.

The City of Knob Noster is allowed to adopt and enforce
regulations regarding zoning and planning within the
unincorporated area that extends two miles beyond the city's
corporate limits.  Zoning and planning ordinances affecting the
unincorporated areas can be less restrictive than the ordinances
affecting areas within the city's limits.

For the purposes of student resident status, military personnel
stationed in Missouri, as well as their spouses and minor
children, will be regarded as Missouri residents.
