Legislative history

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (S. 1605) is a United States federal law which specifies the budget, expenditures and policies of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) for fiscal year 2022. Analogous NDAAs have been passed annually for 60 years.

History

The House of Representatives bill H.R. 4350 was introduced on July 2, 2021 by Rep. Adam Smith of Washington state, the chair of the House Armed Services Committee.[1] Markup began on July 28.[2] 780 amendments were made during markup, which ended on August 31.[3] A corresponding Senate bill, S. 2792, was introduced on September 22.[4]

The House approved their version of the bill in a 316 to 113 vote on September 23.[5]

The Senate approved to move forward and consider the House's version of the NDAA instead of theirs on November 17, by a 84 to 15 vote.[6] Conflict in the Senate lead the version of the bill introduced in the Senate, to be placed on hold, due to objections by Senator Marco Rubio over the attached amendment package. A compromise bill was created through a previously introduced Senate bill, S. 1605 on December 7, and the House passed on the same day with bipartisan support, which removed some of the provisions in the Senate version of the NDAA bill. On December 15, the compromise bill was passed by the Senate in a 88-11 vote.[7]
