2020 House Bill 5371

Ban spending state dollars to support federal “space force”

Introduced in the House

Jan. 21, 2020

Introduced by Rep. Abdullah Hammoud (D-15)

To prohibit spending any state money on a proposed federal "Space Force" agency. The language is broad enough to prohibit granting subsidies or tax breaks to firms related to this entity, which is the most likely way that the bill’s ban on “funds processed through the state's central accounting system by an executive branch agency” would end up supporting the contractors directly or indirectly engaged by this agency.
