Senate Committee-Reported Bill On July 13, 2023, the Senate Committee on Appropriations marked up and reported its FY2024 CJS appropriations bill (S. 2321). The bill would provide a total of $84.850 billion for CJS, which is $152 million (+0.2%) more than the FY2023 regular appropriation and $8.979 billion (-9.6%) less than the Administration’s request. The bill includes the following: • $11.143 billion for the Department of Commerce, which is $87 million (+0.8%) more than the FY2023 regular appropriation and $1.217 billion (-9.8%) less than the Administration’s request; • $37.957 billion for DOJ, which is $579 million (-1.5%) less than the FY2023 regular appropriation and $3.447 billion (-8.3%) less than the Administration’s request; Congressional Research Service 6 Overview of FY2024 Appropriations for CJS • $34.510 billion for the science agencies, which is $645 million (+1.9%) more than the FY2023 regular appropriation and $4.040 billion (-10.5%) less than the Administration’s request; and • $1.240 billion for the related agencies, which is equal to the FY2023 regular appropriation and $275 million (-18.1%) less than the Administration’s request. Of the $84.850 billion in the Senate committee-reported bill, $2.250 billion (2.7%) is designated as emergency funding. Accounts with emergency funding, and the amount of such funding in those accounts, is as follows: • NSF, Research and Related Activities, $420 million; • DEA, Salaries and Expenses, $320 million; • NASA, Construction and Environmental Compliance and Restoration, $296 million; • NASA, Deep Space Exploration Systems, $280 million; • NOAA, Procurement, Acquisition, and Construction, $180 million; • BOP, Buildings and Facilities, $179 million; • USMS, Federal Prisoner Detention, $150 million; • FBI, Salaries and Expenses, $100 million; • DOJ, State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance, $100 million; • ATF, Salaries and Expenses, $71 million; • USMS, Salaries and Expenses, $64 million; • NIST, Construction of Research Facilities, $50 million; • EDA, Economic Development Assistance Programs, $25 million; and • NOAA, Operations, Research, and Facilities, $15 million. The Senate Committee on Appropriations proposes an increase in funding for the Commerce Department for FY2024 relative to FY2023 regular funding. The committee-reported bill would increase funding for NOAA (+$305 million, +4.9%), ITA (+$12 million, +2.0%), and the Census Bureau (+$16 million, +1.1%). The committee recommends reduced funding for NIST (-$179 million, -11.0%), which is the result of a proposed 53.6% reduction (-$248 million) in the Construction of Research Facilities account, and EDA (-$32 million, -6.4%), which is the result of a proposed 7.9% reduction (-$34 million) in the Economic Development Assistance Programs account. The committee-reported bill would fund most accounts in the Commerce Department at a level equal to or below the Administration’s request. The one exception is NIST’s Scientific and Technical Research and Services account, which would be funded at $26 million (+2.6%) more than the Administration’s request. The Senate committee-reported bill would provide less funding for DOJ relative to FY2023 regular appropriations. The bill would decrease funding for the FBI (-$443 million, -3.9%), which is the result of a proposed $592 million (-90.8%) reduction in the FBI’s Construction account; for the ATF (-$58 million, -3.3%), which is the result of proposing no funding for the ATF’s Construction account; and USMS (-$11 million, -0.3%). The legislation would increase funding for the BOP (+$185 million, +2.2%), the U.S. Attorneys (+$38 million, +1.4%), and DEA (+$26 million, +1.0%). The committee-reported bill would also increase funding for OVW (+$32 million, +4.6%) and Juvenile Justice Programs (+$15 million, +3.8%) and decrease funding for State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance (-$216 million, -8.9%) and COPS (-$128 million, -18.9%). Like the Department of Commerce, the committee-reported bill would fund Congressional Research Service 7 link to page 15 Overview of FY2024 Appropriations for CJS nearly all DOJ accounts at or below the Administration’s request, with the exception of BOP’s Buildings and Facilities account (+$29 million, +16.3%). The committee-reported bill would set the obligation cap on the CVF at the Administration’s requested level. The Senate committee-reported bill would decrease funding for NASA relative to FY2023 regular appropriations. The committee recommended reductions for the Science (-$454 million, -5.8%); Space Technology (-$82 million, -6.8%); Space Operations (-$50 million, -1.2%); and Safety, Security, and Mission Services (-$29 million, -0.9%) accounts. The legislation would provide a seven-fold increase in funding for the Construction and Environmental Compliance and Restoration (+$332 million) account and a 3.6% increase (+$267 million) for the Exploration account. Proposed funding for all NASA accounts in the committee-reported bill is below the Administration’s request. The Senate Committee on Appropriations recommends increased funding for NSF for FY2024, which is the result of proposed increased funding for the Research and Related Activities (+$587 million, +8.4%) and STEM Education (+$74 million, +6.4%). The committee recommends funding all other NSF accounts at the FY2023 level. The committee’s proposed funding for all of NSF’s accounts is below the Administration’s request. The Senate committee-reported bill proposes funding for all of the related agencies equal to FY2023 enacted appropriations. With the exception of the State Justice Institute, proposed funding for the related agencies is below the Administration’s request. Table 1.
