On September 23, 2021, the House passed H.R. 4350, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022, by a vote of 316-113.
Despite multiple attempts to bring a number of amendments and the overall bill to a vote on the floor, the Senate failed to reach an agreement to pass S. 2792. Therefore, instead of working through a formal conference, HASC and SASC leadership negotiated a compromise bill based on the text of the House-passed bill (referred to below as House), the Senate Armed Services Committee-approved measure (referred to below as Senate), and amendments filed in the Senate, which was released on December 7, 2021 (referred to below as Final). All table numbers in parentheses are increases or decreases from the President’s FY 2022 Budget (referred to below as Request).
On December 7, 2021, the House passed S. 1605, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022, by a vote of 363-70.
On December 15, 2021, the Senate passed S. 1605, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022, by a vote of 88-11.
