S. 4784: the Senate FY2027 NDAA
Status
No change in the bill's status: the House passed H.R. 8800 on July 22, 2026; S. 4784 has not reached the Senate floor; and the Senate is scheduled to return the week of November 9, after the November 3 election, with the NDAA deferred to the lame-duck session.
About S. 4784
- Senate version of the FY2027 NDAA, topline $1.14T, approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee.
- The Senate adjourned September 30, 2026, and is scheduled to return November 9. Cloture on the motion to proceed failed 50–46 on July 14; a motion to reconsider remains pending. The bill is deferred to the lame-duck session.
- The expected path is a compromise text negotiated by the four Armed Services committee leaders, which wouldn't require the Senate to pass S. 4784 on the floor.
