The House and Senate are on track to pass their versions of the annual defense policy bill this week, and lawmakers have already submitted dozens of amendments on energy and environment issues.
In the House, the Rules Committee will meet Monday afternoon to line up amendments for its fiscal 2026 defense authorization, H.R. 3838, which will be considered on the floor later in the week.
Members have submitted more than 1,100 proposals on everything from “forever chemicals” and remediation to advanced nuclear energy and disaster response.
Senate leaders are finalizing a manager’s package of amendments ahead of a vote on their “National Defense Authorization Act,” S. 2296.
