(a-1) A spaceport development corporation may exercise the power of eminent domain to acquire property for a spaceport, including the power to:
(1) acquire fee title in land condemned;
(2) relocate or modify a railroad, utility line, pipeline, or other facility that may interfere with a spaceport; or
(3) impose a reasonable restriction on using the surface of the property for mineral development if the corporation does not own the mineral rights.

For purposes of this chapter, territory in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality is considered to be in the jurisdiction of the municipality.
