Defense Secretary can sign agency agreements
If enacted, this bill would change a federal definition so the Secretary of Defense would count as the "Secretary concerned" when acting for a Defense Agency head. That would let the Defense Secretary enter and sign intergovernmental support agreements on behalf of Defense Agencies. The change would not create new spending, benefits, or eligibility rules. It only clarifies who can act under existing installation-support rules.
