AI Summary
This bill, known as the Special Operating Authority for Rehearsal Act or SOAR Act, amends title 10 of the United States Code to provide an exception for the United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, commonly called the "Blue Angels," when they conduct flight demonstrations or training events near Pensacola, Florida. Specifically, it allows the Secretary of the Navy to enter into contracts and incur obligations in advance of receiving appropriations, and to do so without being bound by certain provisions of title 31 of the United States Code, which generally govern the use and management of government funds, including sections related to anti-deficiency (preventing spending more than appropriated) and contract authority. This exception aims to streamline the process for these specific events.
