Legislative Activity
Updated April 19, 2024
On March 23, 2024, Congress enacted the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2024 as Division A
of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (P.L. 118-47), a package of six appropriations acts
known as a minibus. Enactment of the legislation occurred nearly six months after the October 1 start of
the fiscal year-and after Congress passed four continuing resolutions (Division A of P.L. 118-15; P.L.
118-22; P.L. 118-35; P.L. 118-40) to fund government agencies, including the U.S. Department of
Defense (DOD), during FY2024 (see Figure 1).
This product provides an overview of key legislative activity on the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2024. It does not cover legislative activity stemming from the Biden Administration's
October 20, 2023, request to Congress for $105.6 billion in emergency supplemental funding for Ukraine,
Israel, and other key national security priorities, including $58.3 billion for DOD.
Regular Appropriations
House-Passed H.R. 4365
Between February and April 2023, the House Committee on Appropriations' Subcommittee on Defense
(HAC-D) held six open hearings and seven classified sessions in part to review and receive testimony on
the defense-related portion of the President's FY2024 budget request. Topics for the open sessions
included Ukraine oversight, a Member Day for Members to share their defense priorities with the
subcommittee, and budget hearings on the FY2024 requests for the DOD, Air Force and Space Force,
Army, and Navy and Marine Corps.
On June 14, 2023, the HAC released a draft measure and a summary of a Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2024. On June 15, the subcommittee held a closed session and approved by voice
vote its version of the FY2024 defense appropriations bill. On June 22, HAC convened a full committee
hearing to mark up the legislation and vote on amendments, including roll call votes on amendments not
contained in the subcommittee mark. The committee voted 34-24 to report the bill as amended to the
House. On June 27, the HAC reported the bill and accompanying report to the House (H.R. 4365; H.Rept.
118-121). On September 28, the House passed H.R. 4365, as amended, by a vote of 218-210.
