Bill > S1930

This bill, titled the "Uphold Our Promise to Veterans Act," proposes to repeal a provision from the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 that mandated annual adjustments to the retired pay and retainer pay for retired members of the Armed Forces who are under the age of 62. In simpler terms, it aims to stop the practice of automatically increasing the retirement pay for younger military retirees each year. The bill also includes significant provisions related to foreign assistance, imposing restrictions on aid to Egypt unless certain democratic milestones are met, and prohibiting assistance to Libya, Pakistan, and countries that fail to adequately protect U.S. diplomatic facilities, unless specific conditions regarding cooperation and security improvements are certified by the President. Additionally, the bill authorizes the sale of 8% of federal lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the National Forest System between fiscal years 2014 and 2024, with the proceeds intended to reduce the federal budget deficit or national debt.
