The annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) typically sets policy and authorizes appropriations for the majority of these activities. This product provides the status of key legislative activity and documentation associated with proposals for a National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 (FY2025 NDAA; H.R. 8070; S. 4638). In the House, on May 20, 2024, Representatives Mike Rogers, Chair of the House Armed Services Committee (HASC), and Adam Smith, Ranking Member, released draft legislative proposals (described as prints) for matters in the FY2025 NDAA under the jurisdictions of the seven subcommittees. They also released a draft legislative proposal known as the Chair mark for portions of the bill not in the subcommittee marks. Unlike in previous years, each HASC subcommittee did not consider and report a mark to the full committee. Instead, to expedite committee consideration of the proposed legislation, each subcommittee released a print (containing both bill language and directive report language). On May 22, the full committee took up a previously introduced text, H.R. 8070, and considered the subcommittee prints, the Chair's mark, and additional amendments. The same day, HASC voted 57-1 to order H.R. 8070 reported to the House with an amendment in the nature of a substitute, reflecting the product of the committee markup. On May 31, the committee reported the bill (the Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025) and filed its accompanying report, H.Rept. 118-529. On June 11, the House Rules Committee met to report a structured special rule, H.Res. 1287, and accompanying report, H.Rept. 118-551, for the House to consider H.R. 8070. On June 12-14, the House adopted the special rule and then considered amendments to the bill. On June 14, the House passed the measure, as amended, by a vote of 217-199. In the Senate, on June 11-12, 2024, the seven subcommittees of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) marked up draft legislative proposals with recommendations for matters in the FY2025 NDAA under their respective jurisdictions. Two of the markups were held in an open session (Subcommittees on Personnel and Seapower), and the remaining five were held in closed sessions. On June 12-13, the full committee considered the legislation in closed sessions. On June 14, Senators Jack Reed and Roger Wicker, Chair and Ranking Member, respectively, of SASC, announced that the committee had voted 22- 3 to order reported an original bill reflecting the product of the committee markup. On July 8, the original bill, S. 4638, was reported to the Senate with an accompanying report, S.Rept. 118-188.
