Plain-English Summary

The proposal would expand a federal program that helps pay for infrastructure improvements at military bases to also include Coast Guard facilities. This would allow Coast Guard installations to access the same funding and support that Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps bases currently receive for things like repairs, upgrades, and construction projects.
