Bill > S2759

This bill, the Restore Honor to Service Members Act of 2021, aims to restore honor to certain previously discharged members of the Armed Forces. It establishes a "tiger team" within the Department of Defense to conduct outreach and build awareness among veterans about the process for reviewing their discharge characterizations. The bill also requires the Department of Defense to review the consistency and uniformity of these discharge reviews, and ensures that veterans receive the appropriate benefits based on the changed discharge characterization. Additionally, the bill directs the military departments to review the history of members discharged due to their sexual orientation and collect oral testimonies to create an official record of these discriminatory policies.
