Defense Capability Development Minor Construction Enhancement Act of 2023

HR 5320, the Defense Capability Development Minor Construction Enhancement Act of 2023, amends a section of U.S. Code (10 U.S.C. § 2805(g)(1)) to expand the scope of defense laboratory modernization funding. It allows defense laboratories to use these funds for the "development, production, and sustainment of combat capabilities" alongside existing modernization projects. This change directly affects Department of Defense laboratories by providing greater flexibility in how they allocate resources for military capability projects. The bill makes a technical adjustment to existing law without creating new programs or altering overall funding levels.
