National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016
Sponsor: Ron Johnson (R-WI)
(This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the House on November 5, 2015. The summary of that version is repeated here.) Highlights: The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 authorizes FY2016 appropriations and sets forth policies regarding the military activities of the Department of Defense (DOD), military construction, and the national security programs of the Department of Energy (DOE). The bill authorizes appropriations, but does not provide appropriations, which are considered in subsequent appropriations legislation.
Armed Forces and National Security Topic assigned by the Congressional Research Service. CRS gives each bill one topic, based on the bill as introduced. This one carries 124 subject terms, so it spans well beyond that single label.
