H.R. 2500, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020
Abstract
H.R. 2500 would authorize appropriations totaling an estimated $728.1 billion over the2020-2024 period. Of that amount, $726.9 billion would be specifically authorized for2020 for the military functions of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the atomic energy defense activities of the Department of Energy. An additional $0.7 billion for 2020 and$0.5 billion for the following four years would be specifically authorized for the Maritime Administration and various other nondefense programs. CBO estimates that appropriation of the authorized amounts would result in outlays of $704.4 billion over the 2020-2024 period. The bill also contains provisions that would affect the costs of defense programs funded through discretionary appropriations in 2021 and future years. Those provisions would affect force structure, compensation and benefits, the military health system, and various other programs. CBO has analyzed the costs of a select number of those provisions and estimates that they would, on a net basis, increase the cost of defense programs compared to current law by about $10.0 billion over the 2021-2024 period. The net costs of those provisions in2021 and beyond are not included in the total amount of outlays mentioned above because funding for those activities would be covered by specific authorizations in future years.
