FY2023 NDAA: Status of Legislative Activity
Updated December 29, 2022
By law (31 U.S.C. 1105(a)), the President is to send the federal budget request to Congress by the first
Monday in February. In practice, Presidents sometimes send it later. On March 28, 2022, President Joseph
R. Biden submitted the FY2023 budget request, including proposed funding for the Department of
Defense (DOD), nuclear weapons programs of the Department of Energy, and other national defense-
related activities. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) typically sets policy and authorizes
appropriations for the vast majority of these activities. This product provides the status of congressional
activity on National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 proposals and enacted legislation
(FY2023 NDAA; H.R. 7900; S. 4543; H.R. 7776; P.L. 117-263).
On June 6-8, 2022, in preparation of subcommittee and full committee markups, the seven subcommittees
of the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) released draft legislative proposals (known as marks)
for matters in the FY2023 NDAA under their respective jurisdictions. On June 8-9, the HASC
subcommittees considered and reported their marks to the full committee. On June 20, Representative
Adam Smith, Chair of HASC, released his draft legislative proposals (i.e., Chairman 's mark) for portions
of the bill not in the subcommittee marks. On June 22, the HASC began considering and marking up the
legislation. On June 23, the committee voted 57-1 to order H.R. 7900 reported to the House with an
amendment in the nature of a substitute reflecting the product of the two-day markup. On July 1, the
committee filed its report, H.Rept. 117-397, to accompany the legislation. On July 7, the committee filed
a supplemental report that included the Congressional Budget Office's cost estimate for the bill. On July
12, the House Rules Committee met to report a structured rule for the House to consider H.R. 7900 and
other legislation. On July 13-14, the House debated and considered amendments to H.R. 7900. On July
14, the House passed the measure, as amended, by a vote of 329-101.
Meanwhile, in the Senate, on June 13-14, 2022, the seven subcommittees of the Senate Armed Services
Committee (SASC) marked up draft legislative proposals with recommendations for matters in the
FY2023 NDAA under their respective jurisdictions. As in previous years, two of the markups were held
in open sessions (Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support, and Subcommittee on
Personnel), and five were closed. On June 15-16, the full committee considered the legislation in a closed
session. On June 16, Senators Jack Reed and Jim Inhofe, Chair and Ranking Member, respectively, of
SASC, announced the committee voted 23-3 to order reported an original bill reflecting changes agreed to
in markup. On July 18, SASC reported S. 4543 and filed the accompanying report S.Rept. 117-130. The
Senate did not consider S. 4543. On October 11, the Senate proceeded to consider H.R. 7900, to which
