The Senate approved the 1,800-page, $895 billion National Defense Authorization Act in an 85 to 14 vote on Wednesday, authorizing funding for the Defense Department next year.
The bill arrived in the Senate two months late as Democrats fought against a part of the bill that prohibited military health care services from providing sex-change procedures on children.
The House passed the bill 281 to 140 last week, with Speaker Mike Johnson stating that it refocuses “the Pentagon on military lethality, not radical woke ideology.”
The bill has been sent to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law.
