“This year’s NDAA includes provisions that counter China’s aggression, boost oversight of the Department of Defense, and support our service members and their families.” “Providing for our nation’s defense is the top priority for the House Armed Services Committee, and I am incredibly proud of the bipartisan work we’ve accomplished in the FY24 NDAA,” Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., said after the committee approved the bill.
Once passed in both chambers, the two bills must be reconciled before the NDAA can be sent to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature into law. The vote sent the bill to the full House for future consideration as the Senate Armed Services Committee worked behind closed doors this week to finalize its version of the must-pass legislation.
The committee passed the $886 billion Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act in a 38-1 vote just after midnight Thursday at the end of a marathon hearing to finalize the bill that sets annual policy and spending priorities for the Pentagon. Service members would see a 5.2% pay boost and junior enlisted troops could get economy-driven bonuses in the annual defense authorization legislation approved Thursday by the House Armed Services Committee.
