What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Defense Community Infrastructure Program Revisions Act," aims to amend title 10 of the United States Code. It seeks to include Coast Guard installations within the defense community infrastructure pilot program. The legislation requires the Secretary of Defense to obtain concurrence from the Commandant of the Coast Guard regarding certain projects. This change ensures that community infrastructure supporting Coast Guard missions can receive grants or funding. Ultimately, it expands the definition of a "military installation" to include Coast Guard installations under the Department of Homeland Security.
