AI Summary
This bill, the Restore Honor to Service Members Act of 2023, aims to provide outreach and build awareness among former members of the Armed Forces about the process established in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 for reviewing their discharge characterizations. The bill requires the Department of Defense to establish a "tiger team" responsible for conducting this outreach, collaborating with stakeholders like the Department of Veterans Affairs and veterans service organizations. The bill also directs the Department of Defense to review the consistency and uniformity of the discharge review process and submit annual reports to Congress. Additionally, the bill ensures that former service members whose discharge characterizations are changed to honorable will receive benefits from the effective date of the change, rather than from the original date of discharge.
