Bill > HR3015

This bill, the Combating Military Sexual Assault Act, proposes several key changes to enhance the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of sexual assault in the U.S. Armed Forces. It requires comprehensive training for military commanders on their role in the military justice process for sexual assault cases, mandates training for Sexual Assault Initial Disposition Authorities on exercising their disposition authority, extends the Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution, and Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces, and establishes a grant program for research on sexual assault prevention at institutions of higher education. The bill also expands the responsibilities of commanders for victims of sexual assault, ensures availability of Special Victims Counsel and Special Victim Prosecutors at military installations, preserves the ability of victims to file restricted reports on sexual assault in certain circumstances, and creates a new punitive article in the Uniform Code of Military Justice for sexual harassment affecting a service member's duties or career.
