Defense secretaries could fund agreements between governments for military base services

Defense secretaries could use eligible defense funds to pay for military base service agreements between governments. The authority would cover the secretaries of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Defense. Congress must have provided the money to the Defense Department. Excluded sources would include permanent spending authority, revolving funds that reuse incoming payments, previously unavailable balances, and financing from outside parties.

Covered support services would include work on military base facilities. The language covers construction, repairs, maintenance, and operation of facilities on military bases.

The defense secretary would collect data on military base service agreements between governments, maintain a searchable public database, and report findings to Congress. Tracking would cover numbers and values of military base service agreements, along with details about each agreement and its participants. Tracking rules would be due within 180 days of enactment. The database would be due within one year of implementing those rules. Reviews would be due within one year of enactment and every four years afterward. Reports to Congress would be due within 90 days of each review.
