Chemical and Biological Defense Program Improvement Act of 2023
This bill amends a 1994 law to change how military departments handle funding requests for chemical and biological defense programs. Specifically, it revises Section 1701(d)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act to allow military departments to include these funding requests directly in their regular budget accounts, rather than requiring separate accounts. The change affects the budgeting process for the Department of Defense's chemical and biological defense programs. It is a procedural adjustment to streamline budget submissions, with no new policy requirements or direct impact on civilians or other entities.
