Defense Community Infrastructure Program Tribal Eligibility Act of 2026

The Defense Community Infrastructure Program Tribal Eligibility Act of 2026 amends federal law to include Indian Tribes as eligible recipients for infrastructure funding alongside local governments. This change directly affects tribal communities located near military installations by allowing them to apply for and receive financial support for essential community projects. The bill modifies the definition of eligible entities within the Department of Defense's infrastructure program, ensuring that tribal governments are explicitly recognized under the same terms as other local jurisdictions.
