Texas SB2188 regulates space flight activities, allowing temporary beach closures near launch sites for safety reasons.

Texas SB2188 establishes regulations for space flight activities, particularly focusing on the temporary closure of beaches near launch sites.

The land office can approve or deny beach closure requests and must be notified of closures. The bill prohibits closures on certain holidays without land office approval.
