SECTION 1. LIMITATIONS ON BASE CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT ACTIVITIES AND
CRITERIA FOR CERTAIN DECISIONS INVOLVING SUCH ACTIVITIES.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In 2012, the Department of Defense requested additional
rounds of defense base closure and realignment in 2013 and
2015.
(2) There have been five rounds of defense base closure and
realignment (BRAC) in the last 25 years (1988, 1991, 1993,
1995, and 2005).
(3) Congress has not approved additional rounds of base
closure and realignment to occur after 2005, and recognizes
that the 2005 round incurred substantial costs that will not be
offset by savings for nearly two decades.
(4) According to the Government Accountability Office,
implementation of the 2005 round of defense base closure and
realignment cost $35,100,000,000, or approximately
$14,100,000,000 more than was estimated by the 2005 Base
Closure and Realignment Commission.
(5) Furthermore, the Government Accountability Office has
determined that the 2005 round of defense base closure and
realignment will take 17 years before taxpayers realize net
savings from the round.
(6) On March 8, 2012, defending the request for additional
rounds of defense base closure and realignment in testimony
before the Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives, Dr. Dorothy Robyn, Deputy Undersecretary of
Defense for Installations and Environment, asserted that the
Department of Defense would close military installations using
non-BRAC authorities, stating that ''if Congress does not
authorize additional BRAC rounds the department will be forced
to use its existing authorities to begin to realign and close
bases''.
(7) The Department of Defense may close or realign bases
only if a round of defense base closure and realignment is
carried out in compliance with sections 2687 and 993 of title
10, United States Code.
(8) Section 2687 of title 10, United States Code, contains
ambiguous language, leading the Department of Defense to pursue
significant closures and realignments without congressional
approval or an authorization for a round of defense base
closure and realignment.
(9) Sections 2687 and 993 of title 10, United States Code,
contain single action limits on reductions that are too easily
circumvented by cumulative actions.
(10) As demonstrated by BRAC and other closure and
realignment actions, base closures and realignments can have
significant effects on Department of Defense functions, current
and future operational capabilities, and on host communities
and States.
(11) Recommendations for closures and realignments should
be carried out only with the consent of Congress, which has the
constitutional responsibility to ''raise and support Armies,''
''provide and maintain a Navy,'' ''make Rules for the
Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces,'' and
''provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the
Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed
in the Service of the United States''.
(b) Limitations on Base Closure and Realignment Activities.--
Section 2687 of title 10, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in subsection (a)--
(A) in paragraph (1), by striking ''at which at
least 300 civilian personnel are authorized to be
employed'';
(B) by amending paragraph (2) to read as follows:
''(2) any realignment with respect to any military
installation involving a reduction in the number of military
and civilian personnel authorized to be employed at such
military installation at the time the Secretary of Defense
notifies Congress under subsection (b) of the Secretary's
proposal to close or realign such installation by more than the
lesser of--
''(A) 100; or
''(B) 50 percent of the highest number of military
and civilian personnel assigned to such installation
during any of the previous 4 years; or''; and
(C) in paragraph (3)--
(i) by striking ''other than a military
installation referred to in clause (1) or
(2)'';
(ii) by inserting ''military or'' before
''civilian personnel''; and
(iii) by striking ''to which clause (1) or
(2)'' and inserting ''to which paragraph (1) or
(2)'';
(2) in subsection (b)--
(A) by striking ''referred to in such subsection'';
(B) in paragraph (1)--
(i) by striking ''or the Secretary of the
military department concerned'';
(ii) by redesignating subparagraphs (A) and
(B) as subparagraphs (B) and (D), respectively;
(iii) by inserting before subparagraph (B),
as redesignated by clause (ii), the following
new subparagraph:
''(A) a justification for the proposed action;'';
(iv) in subparagraph (B), as so
redesignated, by striking ''; and'' and
inserting a semicolon;
(v) by inserting after subparagraph (B), as
so redesignated, the following new
subparagraph:
''(C) a description of the alternatives
considered;'';
(vi) in clause (ii) of subparagraph (D), as
so redesignated, by striking ''; and'' and
inserting a semicolon; and
(vii) by inserting after subparagraph (D),
as so redesignated, the following new
subparagraphs:
''(E) an estimate of the number of military,
civilian, and contractor personnel affected by the
proposed action; and
''(F) a plan to provide support for affected
communities; and''; and
(C) by amending paragraph (2) to read as follows:
''(2) Congress has enacted legislation expressly
authorizing the action.'';
(3) in subsection (c)--
(A) by striking ''shall not apply to the closure''
and inserting the following: ''shall not apply--
''(1) to the closure'';
(B) by striking ''or a military emergency.'' and
inserting ''or a military emergency; or''; and
(C) by adding at the end the following new
paragraph:
''(2) to the relocation from a military installation of
personnel or functions that are required to support the
deployment of members of the armed forces, provided that such
personnel and functions are returned to the military
installation after the deployment.'';
(4) in subsection (d), by striking ''(1) After the
expiration'' and all that follows through ''(2) Nothing in this
section'' and inserting ''Nothing in this section'';
(5) in subsection (e)--
(A) in paragraph (1), by inserting ''and any public
land under Bureau of Land Management control that is
withdrawn and reserved for military training and
testing'' after ''including any leased facility'';
(B) by amending paragraph (3) to read as follows:
''(3) The term 'realignment' includes any action or
combination of actions within a 4-year period that reduces or
relocates functions and military or civilian personnel
positions, but does not include a reduction in force resulting
from a reduction in military end strength levels or a reduction
in total civilian personnel levels.'';
(C) by striking paragraph (4); and
(D) by adding at the end the following new
paragraph:
''(4) The term 'closure' includes any action or combination
of actions that results in the elimination of all active
functions at a military installation, the elimination of all
military and civilian personnel positions at a military
installation, or the placement of a military installation into
non-active status.''; and
(6) by adding at the end the following new subsections:
''(g) For purposes of this section, the component bases of a joint
base shall be considered as independent military installations, and not
collectively as a single military installation.
''(h) For purposes of this section, any leased space in which more
than 300 combined military and civilian personnel are housed shall be
considered to be an independent military installation, and shall not be
considered part of a larger military installation. Functions and
personnel located at a leased space may be transferred to another
leased space located within 50 miles or to the nearest military
installation located within 50 miles notwithstanding any limitations in
this section.''.
Output:
Revises provisions concerning a required congressional notification and waiting period prior to the closure or realignment of a military installation by the Department of Defense (DOD) to instead prohibit, absent specific legislative authorization, any realignment involving a reduction of the lesser of: (1) 100 or more combined military and civilian personnel, or (2) 50% of the highest number of such personnel assigned to that installation during any of the previous four years. Allows only the Secretary of Defense (under current law, either such Secretary or the Secretary of the military department concerned) to provide such notification, and to include a description of the alternatives considered, an estimate of the number of military, civilian, and contractor personnel affected, and a plan to provide support for affected communities.

Excepts from such requirements the relocation of personnel or functions required to support the deployment of members of the Armed Forces, as long as such personnel and functions are returned to the installation after the deployment.

Includes as a military installation, for purposes of such requirements: (1) any public land under Bureau of Land Management control that is withdrawn and reserved for military training and testing, and (2) any leased space in which more than 300 combined military and civilian personnel are housed.
