State Construction Office replaces Building Code Council as the entity reviewing proposals for tall buildings or structures (over 200 feet) near major military installations in North Carolina.

Maintains five-mile protection zone around 10 specified military installations including Fort Bragg, Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point, and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base; State Construction Office must maintain and publish accurate maps of these protected areas.

Requires applicants for tall building construction in protected areas to obtain Federal Aviation Administration clearance and obtain written endorsement from State Construction Office, which must consult with base commanders and decide within 90 days.

Allows Military Affairs Commission and Department of Commerce to share and withhold from public disclosure documents related to military installation closure or realignment processes until the federal government makes a final decision.

Counties and cities cannot authorize utility services (electricity, telephone, gas, water, sewer, septic) to buildings constructed in violation of military lands protection requirements.
