Strengthening Coast Guard Communities Act of 2026

This bill would require the head of the federal department in which the Coast Guard operates to hand over to the Commandant of the Coast Guard the authority to make intergovernmental support agreements under section 2679 of title 10 of the U.S. Code. These agreements relate to installation-support services, which state and local governments can provide to military installations. Within 60 days of using this authority, the Commandant would have to send written notice to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
