AI Summary
This bill provides an exception to the existing law that generally prohibits the appointment of a person as Secretary of Defense within seven years of relief from active duty as a regular commissioned officer of the Armed Forces. The exception applies only to the first person appointed as Secretary of Defense after January 20, 2021, and allows such a person to be appointed if they are within seven years, but not within four years, of their relief from active duty. This temporary exception is intended to facilitate the appointment of a recently retired military officer to the Secretary of Defense position.
