The purpose described in this subsection is the planning, design, construction, modernization, and renovation of hospitals and outpatient health care facilities that are funded, in whole or part, by the Service through, or provided for in, a contract or compact with the Service under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act ( 25 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.), including to address COVID–19 and other subsequent public health crises.
The Secretary shall engage in consultation with Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations to receive guidance and recommendations from Tribal officials before initiating any construction projects under this section on federally-operated facilities of the Service. As a condition on receipt of funding under this section for a project, the recipient of such funding shall ensure that the project increases— energy efficiency; energy resilience; or the use of renewable energy.
