HR 8070

Sponsored by Mike D. Rogers (R)

Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025

Would have set 2025 defense policy, including a 15% average raise for junior enlisted pay.

Tradeoff

Would have authorized military spending, but separate money bills would still be needed to spend it. Would have raised junior enlisted pay about 15% on average, on top of a 4.5% inflation raise.
