Relating to certain authorities of the adjutant general for procurement and construction.

HB 5308 clarifies and expands the authority of Texas' adjutant general regarding military facility management. The bill explicitly designates the adjutant general as the decision-maker for military force location, maintenance, and facility priorities across Texas. It grants the adjutant general formal authority as a "public authority" to handle all procurement, construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance of state-owned or leased military armories and facilities. This change streamlines decision-making for military infrastructure without creating new programs or funding. The bill took effect September 1, 2025, after being signed by the Governor.
