Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would require Defense to remove from military use, within five years, its buildings with historic or artistic value and those located in protected natural areas.
  2. These assets would remain public and be transferred to the Ministry of Economy and Treasury. Local governments and autonomous communities could request them by submitting a plan for protection, conservation, restoration and uses.
  3. The transfer of these assets would be free of charge: Defense would receive no income or compensation for them.
  4. The bill would amend Law 50/1998 so that any local entity can request a declaration that a military building is no longer needed, and so that assets no one requests go back to the Defense agency for sale.

  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
