WASHINGTON, D.C.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b> \u2013 Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement after voting in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021<\/i>, highlighting provisions that benefit Nevada, including several of her amendments and other provisions that she championed that were included in the final bill. By a vote of 86 to 14, the Senate today passed the bipartisan legislation, which sets the nation\u2019s defense policy and includes a three-percent pay increase for our troops.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe annual National Defense Authorization Act plays a pivotal role in helping modernize our military, supporting our servicemembers, and strengthening our national security priorities,\u201d <\/span>dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/b> \u201cI was proud to vote for this bipartisan legislation, which provides a well-earned pay increase for our troops and includes a number of provisions that I have spearheaded, fought for, and supported. The NDAA includes zero funding for defense nuclear waste storage at Yucca Mountain \u2013 something that I have fought against since I arrived in Congress \u2013 and it supports the continuation of a cybersecurity JROTC program for which I\u2019ve advocated. It also authorizes funding for two projects in Nevada that will help support Nevada\u2019s military installations, which play a pivotal role in maintaining our national security.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI also was proud to see two of my amendments included in the final package of the NDAA,\u201d <\/span>Senator Rosen continued.<\/b> \u201cMy first bipartisan amendment brings Nevada\u2019s hard-working parents much-needed relief by increasing the availability of high-quality child care for their families. That amendment also creates jobs and supports child care small businesses by expanding access to SBA support. I also was able to successfully include in the bill an amendment that authorizes assistance for cybersecurity workforce development, including direct, no-cost support for Nevada\u2019s teachers and students to help them prepare for our 21st century economy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
