Bill > SB1675

This bill amends the Illinois Code of Military Justice by updating the terminology and expanding the list of military offenses. Specifically, the bill modifies the definition of "military offenses" in Section 1, adding several new offenses such as "soliciting commission of offenses," "malingering," "breach of medical quarantine," and various other specific military-related infractions. The bill also removes the gendered phrase "and a gentleman" from the section on conduct unbecoming an officer, making the language more gender-neutral. Additionally, the bill updates the list of military offenses by adding new categories like "offenses concerning Government computers," "frauds against the Government," and "retaliation," while removing or consolidating some existing offense categories. The changes appear to modernize and clarify the military justice code, ensuring a more comprehensive and up-to-date set of standards for military personnel conduct. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, allowing for swift implementation of these updates to the Illinois military justice system.
