Law

This bill allows Tribal governments to apply for federal grants through a program that funds construction projects near military bases. Currently, only state and local governments are eligible for this money.
The program helps pay for community improvements like fixing roads, upgrading water systems, and building schools. These projects are meant to support the military mission and the people who live in the surrounding area.
By including Tribes, the policy ensures that Tribal communities located near military installations can get federal help to improve their local services and infrastructure.
This change recognizes Tribal governments as equal partners in supporting the needs of military families and neighbors who share the same local resources.
