H.R. 1735 - National Defense Authorization Act

The H.R. 1735 measure to provide for the National Defense Authorization Act was vetoed by Obama (date unknown) and there has not been an attempt to override the veto.

Reference:  (Congress.gov)  H.R.1735 - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 

The reason for interest in it is this:

(Sec. 345) Limits the use of funds for sponsorship, advertising, or marketing associated with a sports-related organization or sporting event until the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness reviews and reports to Congress on current contracts and task orders for sponsorships, advertising, and marketing.

The Department of Defense has been funding all the nationalistic hoopla for National Football League games, etc.  This presumably includes the jet fighter flyovers at NASCAR races and the like.

(Sec. 1045) Limits interrogation techniques to those that are authorized and listed in the Army Field Manual, with an exception for federal law enforcement officials.

It limits torture to some extent but not if there's a federal cop.  No doubt that is an immense relief to prisoners.

Provisions for significant support of the Veterans Administration:

(Sec. 1094) Modifies the requirements for the amount of usable space and the length of the lease for a major medical facility lease for a VA outpatient clinic in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 

(Sec. 1095) Authorizes the VA to carry out specified major medical facility projects in FY2015. Authorizes appropriations and limits funding for each project.

(Sec. 1096) Requires the VA to enter into an agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers or another entity of the federal government to serve, on a reimbursable basis, as the construction agent for the construction, alteration, or acquisition of medical facilities of the VA when total expenditures exceed $100 million.

The bill has been vetoed so what happens with all these things.  You can see by the numbering there is an immense number of provisions within the bill to do all manner of diverse things.  Since we're now in the 1st quarter of the 2016 fiscal year, many military things presumably should have stopped but they didn't.

There's been no outcry of the world will end because the NDAA was vetoed so that leaves someone is playing Three Card Monte with the money again.  If the military didn't need the bill to be signed to get the money then where do they get it now and what was the money supposed to do.

Somewhere in there is said to be a segment regarding military arrest of American citizens but I couldn't find it.  The content may well be in there but your eyeballs will beg for mercy after reading it for a while.
