Bill Summary
A BILL To direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a tiger team to perform outreach regarding the process by which a member of the Armed Forces, discharged on the basis of sexual orientation, may apply for review of the charac- terization of such discharge.
AI Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to establish a "tiger team" to conduct outreach and raise awareness among former members of the Armed Forces who were discharged based on their sexual orientation (under the now-repealed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy) about the process for review and potential upgrade of their discharge characterization. The bill requires the tiger team to collaborate with external stakeholders, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs and veterans service organizations, to identify eligible individuals and improve outreach efforts. It also requires the Secretary of Defense to review the consistency of the discharge review process and submit periodic reports to Congress on the progress of these efforts.
