What this bill would do

This bill is titled the ``Strengthening Coast Guard Communities Act of 2026''. It requires the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard operates to delegate specific authority to the Commandant of the Coast Guard. This authority relates to entering into intergovernmental support agreements for installation-support services under section 2679 of title 10, United States Code. Additionally, the bill mandates a notification process once this authority is used. The Commandant must provide written notification to specific Senate and House committees after exercising this authority.
