WASHINGTON, DC (December 17, 2025) |
The Senate has officially passed the FY2026 NDAA following last week’s approval by the U.S. House of Representatives. The final bill now heads to the President for signature.
DCUC commends both chambers for advancing the National Defense Authorization Act without any Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA) language or Durbin–Marshall amendments, an outcome that safeguards the financial stability of military communities.
“We extend our sincere appreciation to Senators Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Kevin Cramer (R-ND) for their leadership in proposing the inclusion of Central Liquidity Facility (CLF) provisions,” says Jason Stverak, DCUC Chief Advocacy Officer. “Although these measures were not incorporated in the final bill, DCUC looks forward to continuing its work with both congressional leaders to ensure this important initiative advances in future legislation.”
DCUC is encouraged by recent discussions indicating that the annual defense bill may place increased emphasis on veteran-focused initiatives and priorities in the future.
As the FY2026 NDAA moves forward, DCUC is already postured to resume its advocacy strategy and will lean heavily into advancing veteran-centered policies during future NDAA markups, negotiations, and broader congressional discussions.
