Dyess Air Base Access Infrastructure Design Act

# Dyess Air Base Access Infrastructure Design Act (HR 4833) ## What the Bill Does This bill would authorize funding for the design and planning of infrastructure improvements to access roads and transportation systems at Dyess Air Base, a major military installation located in Abilene, Texas. Rather than immediately constructing new infrastructure, the bill focuses on the preliminary design phase—essentially paying for engineers and planners to study the area and create detailed blueprints for future improvements to how people and supplies can reach the base. ## Who It Affects The bill primarily affects Dyess Air Base, its military personnel, civilian employees, and the surrounding Abilene community. Improved access infrastructure could benefit the local economy and transportation networks in the region.

The bill would also affect the federal budget, as it would direct taxpayer funding toward this specific project. ## Current Status HR 4833 was introduced by Representative Jodey Arrington (R-TX) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
