Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes federal military law for the Navy's flight demonstration squadron, known as the Blue Angels, when it holds flight demonstrations or training events near Pensacola, Florida. For those events, the Secretary of the Navy could sign contracts before Congress has approved the funding. The Secretary could also take on spending obligations without following certain federal budget-control laws in title 31, including the Anti-Deficiency Act rules. These are the rules that usually block spending ahead of or beyond approved funds.
