handle is hein.crs/govemty0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Congressional ____ ~ ~Research Service FY2024 Defense Appropriations: Status of Legislative Activity September 7, 2023 Article I, Section 9, of the Constitution states that No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law. As a result, Congress must enact legislation to provide federal departments and agencies with funding to carry out their duties. In practice, Congress appropriates defense funding on an annual basis (with varying periods of availability, depending on the type of appropriation). When Congress and the President do not approve full-year appropriations for the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and other defense-related activities by the October 1 start of the government's fiscal year, they may approve one or more continuing resolutions (CRs) to provide temporary funding for such activities, or allow appropriations to lapse resulting in a shutdown of affected activities. The Department of Defense Appropriations Act is one of 12 annual appropriations measures under the jurisdiction of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. It is the largest single appropriations act in terms of discretionary funding. Typically part of a two-step defense authorization and appropriation process, the defense appropriations bill primarily funds DOD activities except for military construction and family housing programs (which are typically funded in the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act). The defense appropriations bill also funds certain activities of the intelligence community. By law (31 U.S.C. §1105(a)), the President is to submit the annual federal budget request to Congress by the first Monday in February, though, in practice, it is sometimes delayed. On March 9, 2023, President Joe Biden submitted initial documentation supporting the FY2024 budget request, including proposed funding for the DOD and other national defense-related activities. This product provides the status of congressional activity on proposed versions of a Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2024 (H.R. 4365; S. 2587).
