Bill > HR1112

This bill, the Ensuring Military Readiness Act of 2023, proposes new regulations regarding the service of individuals who identify as transgender in the Armed Forces. The key provisions are: 1) Persons who identify as transgender with a history of gender dysphoria are disqualified from military service, except if they have been stable in their biological sex for 36 months prior to accession, or if they are currently serving and do not undergo gender transition procedures. 2) Persons who identify as transgender and seek or have undergone gender transition are disqualified from military service. 3) Persons who identify as transgender without a history of gender dysphoria may serve in the Armed Forces in their biological sex if they meet all physical and mental requirements. 4) The bill also requires the Secretary of Defense to update the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) to ensure gender markers for members match their biological sex, regardless of any previous changes. The bill provides detailed definitions of key terms such as "gender dysphoria," "gender transition," and "gender transition procedures" to clarify the scope of the proposed regulations.
