Identical text and intent to the FY24 version. Prevents funds from administering the Pentagon's 'unfunded priorities list' under FY25 Department of Defense Appropriations. The list operates outside the Future Years Defense Program established by 10 U.S.C. §§ 221-222, enabling expansion of military spending beyond the President's formal budget request. Congress's power-of-the-purse authority is grounded in Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution.
