Relating to the designation of spaceports as critical infrastructure facilities for purposes of criminal and civil liability.

Contracts

• Security Vendors: Amend Master Service Agreements (MSAs) to require security providers to cite Texas Government Code Ch. 424 when reporting intrusions to law enforcement.
• Construction Vendors: Update General Conditions in construction contracts to notify contractors that the site is legally "Critical Infrastructure." This serves as a deterrent against internal theft or vandalism.

Hiring/Training

• Security Personnel: Train staff to distinguish between simple trespass and "impairment of critical infrastructure." They must be able to articulate to responding police officers that the facility is a protected asset under SB1198.
• Site Management: Staff must be trained to identify and secure "temporary hazard areas" in alignment with active FAA launch windows.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Incident Logs: Revise internal reporting to specifically quantify "operational interruption" (e.g., minutes of delay, scrubbed tests). The statute allows for civil recovery of damages caused by *interruption*, not just physical destruction.
• Boundary Maps: Maintain current, printed maps of FAA-authorized hazard areas and property lines to provide to law enforcement immediately upon their arrival.

Fees & Costs

• Signage: Budget for the fabrication and installation of high-visibility signage denoting "Critical Infrastructure" at all perimeter access points.
• Insurance: Contact carriers; this designation may lower risk premiums or, conversely, mandate specific physical security standards (fencing/lighting) to maintain coverage.
