HR 5009 Vehicle for FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act

The House Rules Committee is scheduled to consider a proposed amendment to the Senate Amendment to HR 5009 on Monday afternoon. That proposed amendment is going to be used as the vehicle for the FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act. In addition to the standard four divisions found in the typical NDAA, the following Divisions have been added to this draft:

Division E—Other Matters,

Division F—Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, and

Division G—Department of State Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025.

There was an outside chance that this last minute NDAA would include language reauthorizing the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program. If it were included here, it would be in Division E. That division includes the following Titles:

TITLE L—Veterans Affairs Matters,

TITLE LI—Foreign Affairs Matters,

TITLE LII—Judiciary Matters,

TITLE LIII—Natural Resources Matters,

TITLE LIV—Telecommunications-Related Matters,

TITLE LV—Transportation And Infrastructure Matters,

TITLE LVI—Homeland Security-Related Matters, and

TITLE LVII—Miscellaneous.

And there is no CFATS language in Title LVI.

There will be more on the NDAA language in HR 5009 here later this week.
