Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009

The Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub.L. 111–32, H.R. 2346, enacted June 24, 2009) is a United States federal law appropriating public funds for spending in the Iraq War and Afghanistan War during the 2009 fiscal year.

The Obama administration vowed that this "war supplemental" will be the last of its kind, as war funding will be provided for in regular budget bills beginning in fiscal year 2010.
