AI Summary
This bill, the Sexual Trauma Ongoing Protections Act of 2019 or the STOP Act of 2019, seeks to improve protections for victims of sexual assault in the Armed Forces. It amends the Uniform Code of Military Justice to address command influence, requiring the Secretary of Defense to develop policies for the timely disposition of non-prosecutable sex-related offenses and allowing victims to file restricted reports of sexual assault regardless of prior disclosure. The bill also extends the Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution, and Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces and requires a report on the feasibility of establishing a process for appointing a guardian ad litem to represent the interests of child victims of alleged sex-related offenses.
