Dyess Air Base Access Infrastructure Design Act

# Dyess Air Base Access Infrastructure Design Act Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would authorize the design and planning of new access infrastructure for Dyess Air Base, a major U.S. Air Force installation located near Abilene, Texas. Essentially, it would fund studies and planning for improvements to roads, entrances, and other facilities that provide access to the base, rather than constructing the improvements themselves. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects Dyess Air Base operations and the surrounding Abilene area.

It would benefit the Air Force by improving base accessibility and potentially help local communities near the base by supporting infrastructure planning that could ease traffic flow and base access. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. It was introduced by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the 119th Congress. No further action has been taken on the measure.
