Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Broader base support agreements and funding
If enacted, the bill would let the Defense Department and state, local, or tribal governments partner with other Federal agencies to share base support services. It would explicitly allow services for repair, construction, maintenance, or operation of a facility. The bill would also let the Secretary pay for these services using operation and maintenance funds, research and development funds, ammunition procurement funds, military construction funds, or non-appropriated funds. This would start upon enactment and could make it easier for local contractors and communities to work with bases. It would not give direct payments to households.
Pilot for 20-year base agreements
If enacted, the bill would extend a Defense partnership rule through September 30, 2030. It would also create a pilot allowing up to one long-term base-support agreement for each service (Army, Navy, Air Force). Each pilot agreement could last up to 20 years even if current law limits shorter terms. The pilot would start upon enactment and does not itself provide new funding.
