The request was $2.325 billion (12%) less than the $19.000 billion provided for such programs in the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023 (Division J of P.L. 117-328). The House-passed version of the legislation for FY2024 (H.R. 4366) proposed appropriating $799 million (4.8%) more than the requested amount. The Senate Appropriations Committee-reported version of the legislation (S. 2127) recommended $2.395 billion (14.4%) more than the requested amount. On March 9, 2024, President Biden signed P.L. 118-42, which provided $18.675 billion for the FY2024 MILCON and family housing programs, 12% above the requested amount (Table 1). Explanatory materials and bill funding tables for Division A, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations (MILCON-VA) Act are contained in the March 5, 2024 Congressional Record. A list of selected projects funded in the legislation is included in Table 2. The FY2024 MILCON-VA appropriations act included 11 projects that were incrementally funded (i.e., Congress provided a portion of the requested amount for a particular project). By incrementally funding certain projects, Congress allows DOD to initiate the construction project but DOD will likely have to request additional funding in a future budget cycle to complete the project. In July 2023, the Biden Administration cited opposition to the House-passed version of the MILCON-VA bill because it proposed funding 24 projects incrementally. The act appropriated funding for 143 MILCON projects that were not included in the President's budget request but were listed as Community Project Funding or Congressionally Directed Spending items. Appropriations for those projects totaled about $1.565 billion. Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN12238 CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
