Senate Concurrent Resolution No. by Senator Selders calls on the United States Congress to ensure the timely passage of appropriation measures that fully fund and align with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The resolution emphasizes the importance of consistent and reliable funding for the readiness, stability, and well-being of U.S. military personnel and their families, particularly in light of Louisiana's significant role in national defense through its military installations and defense-related industries. It highlights the negative impacts of funding delays, such as disruptions in military construction, training, and essential services that support service members and their families.

The resolution underscores Louisiana's commitment to supporting military personnel and recognizes their contributions to national security and emergency response efforts. It calls for Congress to prioritize the timely enactment of full-year federal appropriations to ensure that the Department of Defense can effectively implement authorized programs and maintain long-term military readiness. A copy of the resolution will be sent to relevant congressional leaders and Louisiana's congressional delegation to advocate for this urgent need.
