AACRAO Joins Community Letter Opposing Inclusion of DETERRENT Act in FY 2027 NDAA

The National Defense Authorization Act is an expansive annual bill focused on military policy that often attracts riders due to it being considered a “must pass” piece of legislation. There is currently a proposal in the Senate to attach the DETERRENT act (H.R. 1048) to this year’s NDAA. AACRAO opposed DETERRENT, which would greatly expand and complicate Section 117 foreign gift reporting for institutions, when it was originally proposed in the House and recently we joined a community letter opposing the inclusion of the bill to the fiscal year 2027 NDAA, along with other concerns.
