Defense Acquisition Laws Reorganization Bill: Final Draft

Abstract

This draft sets out the legislative text proposed by the Section 809 Panel for the reorganization, consolidation, and rationalization of the statutes relating to defense acquisition. The draft would relocate those statutes into the new structure in title 10, United States Code, created by section 801 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232). As the first step in the comprehensive defense acquisition laws reorganization (DALR) project, section 801 created a new Part V of Subtitle A of title 10, with a subpart and chapter structure for the subsequent relocation of defense acquisition laws. This document would carry out that relocation. Overall, the intent is to improve readability of defense acquisition provisions.
