Ukraine Security Assistance and Oversight Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024
This bill provides FY2024 supplemental appropriations to the Department of Defense (DOD) for assistance to Ukraine and establishes the Office of the Special Inspector General for Ukraine Assistance.
Specifically, the bill provides appropriations to DOD for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. The funding is provided for purposes such as
providing assistance and equipment to the military and national security forces of Ukraine and other forces or groups engaged in resisting Russian aggression against Ukraine,
replacing weapons or defense articles provided to Ukraine from the U.S. inventory, and
recovering or disposing of equipment procured using funds provided by this bill or prior acts.
The bill also establishes and provides funding for the Office of the Special Inspector General for Ukraine Assistance. The duties of the office include
conducting and supervising audits and investigations related to the programs and operations funded with appropriations provided to support Ukraine;
coordinating and making recommendations regarding policies designed to prevent and detect waste, fraud, and abuse; and
keeping the Department of State, DOD, and Congress informed about problems, deficiencies, and the need for corrective actions.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
4 steps remain before this bill could become law.
The record's latest action, on October 3, 2023: Read the second time. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 216.

- Passage by the Senate
- The President's signature. If the President vetoes it, two-thirds of both chambers must vote to override.
How likely is it to become law?
Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.
In the 118th Congress (2023-24), 274 of the 16,565 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 1.7 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.
This one is not there yet: 4 steps are still outstanding, listed above.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
Thomas Kean (R-NJ) introduced it on September 26, 2023. No cosponsors are recorded.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on September 26, 2023, 1080 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 1073 days ago, on October 3, 2023.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 118th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2025 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
