Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.

2026-05-13

This annual legislation sets the budget and policies for the Department of Defense, determining how much money the military gets to spend and what it can use that money for, including soldier pay, weapons development, and military operations. It affects military personnel, defense contractors, and ultimately taxpayers who fund these programs. Congress must pass this bill each year to authorize defense spending and establish rules for how the armed forces operate.
