Bills Introduced – 10-20-21

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session, there were 46 bills introduced. One of those bills will receive additional coverage in this blog:

S 3023 A bill making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and for other purposes. Sen. Tester, Jon [D-MT] 

In many ways this is a symbolic bill since there will almost certainly not be a standalone DOD spending bill passed this year, we will have some sort of omnibus spending bill dropped in December. The importance of this bill will stand with the Committee Report that will provide key spending and reporting requirements directed by the Senate Appropriations Committee.
