FY2024 NDAA: Status of Legislative Activity



July  31, 2023

By law (31 U.S.C. @1105(a)), the President is to send the annual federal budget request to Congress by the
first Monday in February. In practice, Presidents sometimes send it later. On March 9, 2023, President
Joseph R. Biden submitted initial documentation supporting the FY2024 budget request, including
proposed funding for the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), nuclear weapons programs of the U.S.
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 2024 proposals (FY2024 NDAA; H.R. 2670; S. 2226).
In the House, on June 12, 2023, leaders of the seven subcommittees of the House Armed Services
Committee (HASC)  released draft legislative proposals (known as marks) for matters in the FY2024
NDAA   under their respective jurisdictions. On the same day, Representative Mike Rogers, Chair of
HASC,  released his draft legislative proposal (i.e., Chairman 's mark) for portions of the bill not in the
subcommittee marks. On June 13-14, the HASC subcommittees considered and reported their marks to
the full committee. On June 21, the HASC considered amendments to the subcommittee marks and
Chairman's mark before voting 58-1 to order the legislation reported to the House with an amendment in
the nature of a substitute, reflecting the product of the committee markup. On June 30, the committee
reported the bill, H.R. 2670, and filed its accompanying report, H.Rept. 118-125. On July 11-12, the
House Rules Committee met to report an initial structured rule, H.Res. 582, for the House to consider
H.R. 2670; on July 13, the committee reported a second structured rule, H.Res. 583. On July 12-14, the
House considered amendments to the legislation. On July 14, the House passed the measure, as amended,
by a vote of 219-210.
In the Senate, on June 20-21, 2023, 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. One of the markups was held in an open session (Subcommittee on
Personnel), and six were held in closed sessions. On June 21-23, the full committee considered the
legislation in closed sessions. On June 23, Senators Jack Reed and Roger Wicker, Chair and Ranking
Member, respectively, of SASC, announced the committee voted 24-1 to order reported an original bill
reflecting the product of the committee markup. On July 11, S. 2226 was reported to the Senate; on July
12, the accompanying report, S.Rept. 118-58, was filed. On July 19, the Senate began considering S.
2226, to which Senator Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader, then offered (for Senator Reed) a
complete substitute amendment (S.Amdt. 935) based on the text of S. 2226 and additional provisions.
