To require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award additional funding through the Sanitation Facilities Construction Program of the Indian Health Service, and for other purposes.

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to award additional funds to the Indian Health Service Sanitation Facilities Construction Program. This program provides American Indian and Alaska Native homes and communities with water supply, sewage disposal, and solid waste disposal facilities.

Bill 117 hr 1939, also known as the Sanitation Facilities Construction Program Enhancement Act, aims to increase funding for the Sanitation Facilities Construction Program within the Indian Health Service. This program focuses on improving sanitation facilities in Native American communities to address health and sanitation issues.

The bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to allocate additional funding to the program to ensure that more communities have access to clean and safe sanitation facilities. This funding will help address the lack of adequate sanitation infrastructure in many Native American communities, which can lead to health problems and environmental issues.

In addition to increasing funding for the program, the bill also includes provisions for improving coordination between federal agencies and tribal governments to ensure that the funds are used effectively and efficiently. This will help ensure that the sanitation facilities constructed with this funding meet the needs of the communities they serve. Overall, the Sanitation Facilities Construction Program Enhancement Act aims to improve the health and well-being of Native American communities by providing them with access to essential sanitation facilities. By increasing funding for this program and improving coordination between agencies, the bill seeks to address a critical need in many Native American communities and improve overall public health outcomes.
