WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., announced that all four amendments he sponsored were included in the House-passed Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, according to his office.
“Passing these amendments in the House is a major win, but the work isn’t complete until they’re included in the final FY27 NDAA and signed into law,” Norman said. “At a time of growing threats to our nation, these commonsense reforms will strengthen our military, improve accountability, safeguard taxpayer dollars, and counter the Chinese Communist Party. America must continue to field the strongest, most capable fighting force in the world.”
According to Norman’s office, the four amendments are:
Amendment 31, which requires FY27 NDAA pilot programs to expire after two years unless Congress votes to extend them.
Amendment 32, which requires Department of Defense-supported projects to disclose their taxpayer-funded cost.
Amendment 216, which requires the Army to brief Congress on the effectiveness of insect repellent-treated combat uniforms.
Amendment 217, which prohibits Chinese Communist Party-linked financial service providers from being used on Department of Defense devices.
The House passed the FY27 NDAA by a vote of 216-212, according to Norman’s office. The annual bill authorizes funding, establishes policies and provides oversight for the Department of Defense and the military. The House-passed version now heads to the Senate.
