BILL SUMMARY: Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Fiscal Year 2024 Appropriations Bill

Press Release

Date: March 3, 2024
Location: Washington D.C.
Issues: Military Personnel Health and Health Care

“This bill honors the sacred obligation we have to take care of our veterans when they come home by fully funding veterans’ medical care and benefits and delivering essential resources VA needs to operate. Of critical importance to me, we make record investments in women veterans’ health care, mental health services for our veterans, and resources to help end veteran homelessness—longtime priorities of mine. As I have said many times: our most important military asset isn’t our weapons or equipment—it is the brave men and women who sacrifice greatly to keep our country safe. That’s why I worked hard to ensure this bill supports our servicemembers and military families with new investments in military housing, child care centers, and more. This bill helps ensure our military infrastructure is built for the future—with critical new investments in the Indo Pacific, funding to improve resiliency in the face of new climate-related threats, and more.”
