Expanding Defense Community Partnerships Act

This bill expands how military bases can partner with local communities. It allows the Department of Defense to collaborate with other federal agencies when making agreements with state, local, or tribal governments to provide installation-support services like facility maintenance or operations. The bill also broadens funding options for these agreements, permitting use of existing operation/maintenance funds and non-military funds, and extends the deadline for such agreements from 2025 to 2030. This directly affects military installations, local governments, and tribal entities entering these partnerships.
