House Approves DOD Authorization Conference Report
The House approved the conference report on the Department of Defense authorization bill (H.R. 2647) despite objections from Republicans. The controversy was not related to DOD space programs, but to language that was added expanding the federal definition of “hate crimes,” according to Congress Daily (subscription required). The vote was 281-146. The Senate now must consider the conference report. The hate crimes provision was added in the Senate version of the bill.
