This part allows money to be set aside for building work at military sites. It covers land, buildings and family housing. Each service must send Congress a spending plan within 30 days.
“Funds are hereby authorized to be appropriated for military construction, land acquisition, and military family housing functions of each military department (as defined in section 101(a) of title 10, United States Code) as specified in this title.”
The section authorizes appropriations for the military construction, land acquisition and military family housing functions of each military department, as that term is defined in section 101(a) of title 10, United States Code, as specified in this title.
What the document actually says
“Funds are hereby authorized to be appropriated for military construction, land acquisition, and military family housing functions of each military department (as defined in section 101(a) of title 10, United States Code) as specified in this title.”
That sentence, in plain words
Money may be set aside for building work at military sites. It also covers buying land. It covers homes for families too. It goes to each of the services.
What this is about
An authorization is not the money itself. It is leave to provide the money. What each department gets is set out elsewhere in this title.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

Both things the section does: authorize appropriations for military construction, land acquisition and family housing, and require a spending plan by project within 30 days.
Nothing in the section is left out. It has only these two subsections.
