Review – HR 5009, Some Provisions – FY 2025 NDAA

Today the House is scheduled to take up HR 5009, which is the vehicle for the FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act. The NDAA provides guidance and authorization for military programs, some of those provisions will have impacts outside of the military and defense industrial base. These provisions include cybersecurity, counter UAS operations, and commercial space operations.

Moving Forward

While there are provisions of objection to both sides of the aisle in this proposed amendment, it is expected that there will be some level of bipartisan support for the measure that will allow the bill to pass in the House. There is a possibility that there will be attempts to amend the bill in the Senate, but any such amendments will require the bill to come back to the House for approval of the changes. This would endanger the intent of the leadership of both bodies to complete their business this session before Christmas.
