Passed the House.
A single yes on this bill carried more than defense authorization. Sec. 2 organizes the Act into six divisions. Divisions A through D are the ordinary defense package: DoD program authorizations, military construction, Department of Energy national security programs, and the funding tables that set the dollar amounts. Division E, Title LI attaches the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, which amends the Federal Reserve Act to prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing or developing a central bank digital currency. Division F attaches a reauthorization of Coast Guard appropriations through fiscal year 2029. The coupling point is the must-pass annual defense bill. A member could not vote on the Federal Reserve currency ban or the Coast Guard funding separately from the defense authorization.
Passed the House on September 10, 2025.

This is the annual defense authorization bill for fiscal year 2026. It authorizes appropriations for Department of Defense procurement and for research, development, test, and evaluation, with the amounts set in the bill's funding tables. It sets military personnel end strengths for the fiscal year, including an active-duty Army of 454,000 as of September 30, 2026. It authorizes military construction projects and Department of Energy national security programs, including nuclear weapons activities. Congress also attached two measures that are not defense authorizations. One amends the Federal Reserve Act to bar Federal Reserve banks from issuing a central bank digital currency and from offering financial products directly to individuals, and to bar the Federal Reserve Board from developing one; that title is named the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. The other reauthorizes Coast Guard appropriations through fiscal year 2029.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 648 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 1,694 quarterly reports filed by 106 lobbying firms and by 239 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Phlow Corporation; Ametrine Inc.; Technical Micronics Control, Inc.; Electra Aero, Inc.; General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems, Inc. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 643 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
