Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025
Sponsor: David Joyce (R-OH)
This bill authorizes for FY2025 and sets forth policies for Department of Defense (DOD) programs and activities, military construction, the national security programs of the Department of Energy (DOE), the Maritime Administration, and the intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the federal government. It also authorizes the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board and the Naval Petroleum Reserves and sets policy for certain other agencies, including the Department of State and the Department of the Interior. The bill authorizes appropriations but it does not provide budget authority, which is provided by 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 260 subject terms, so it spans well beyond that single label.
