This bill changes federal law on the Defense Community Infrastructure Program so that Indian Tribes can take part in it. Under the program, the Department of Defense can help pay for infrastructure projects that support military installations, and the current law names state and local governments as participants. The bill adds Indian Tribes to the list of eligible entities in several places in the law. It also defines "Indian Tribe" using the definition in the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.
