What the document says

“shall submit to such Subcommittees a spending, expenditure, or operating plan for fiscal year 2025”

Making further continuing appropriations and other extensions for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, and for other purposes, Sec. 3

Section 1422 requires a plan at the level of detail section 8007 of division A of Public Law 118-47 required, after consultation with the defense subcommittees. Nothing may be in the plan unless it was provided for in H.R. 8774 or S. 4921 or in the reports accompanying them. The plan becomes the baseline for reprogramming and transfer under sections 8005 and 8006, and it must reflect a sequestration if one is ordered.

What the document actually says

“shall submit to such Subcommittees a spending, expenditure, or operating plan for fiscal year 2025”

Making further continuing appropriations and other extensions for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, and for other purposes, Sec. 3
That sentence, in plain words

The defense department must hand in a spending plan. It goes to the defense panels in both chambers.

What this is about

Section 1113 already asks most agencies for a plan. This one asks defense for more detail. It is due 45 days after the law passed.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
