Slip-on Tanks for Tribes Act of 2024

This bill amends an existing provision in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to allow federally recognized tribes to access federal funding for purchasing firefighting "slip-on" tanker units. These are modular, rapidly deployable tanks that attach to standard fire trucks to increase water capacity during wildfires. The bill directly affects tribal fire departments by expanding their eligibility for the same financial assistance previously available only to local governments. It makes a concrete change to the funding rule without altering the program's core purpose or creating new requirements.
