WASHINGTON—The House Armed Services Committee on Thursday advanced the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) out of committee without any provisions harmful to credit unions, the Defense Credit Union Council reported.
DCUC said it reviewed the text of H.R. 3838, the “Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution and Delivery and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026.”
“We're happy to see that the base text of the NDAA that is in front of the Rules Committee in the House doesn't contain any language that negatively impacts credit unions,” said DCUC Chief Advocacy Officer Jason Stverak. “Obviously the amendment process is open until Aug. 28, and we will we will closely monitor the amendments that are submitted. As we've seen in the Senate, there have been amendments that have been introduced that would negatively impact credit unions—like the study of interchange rates on base commissaries, which is an attempt to get the text of the Marshall Durban interchange bill into the NDAA. We will oppose those efforts in both the House and the Senate.
