Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 10, United States Code, to prohibit discrimination in the Armed Forces on the basis of gender identity, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Fit to Serve Act, aims to amend Title 10 of the United States Code to prevent discrimination against transgender service members in the Armed Forces. Specifically, the bill prohibits the Secretary of each military branch from discriminating against service members on the basis of gender identity, which is defined as an individual's gender-related identity, appearance, mannerisms, or other gender-related characteristics, regardless of their sex assigned at birth. The bill bars military officials from: establishing service qualifications based on gender identity, involuntarily separating service members, denying medically necessary health care, requiring individuals to serve in the sex assigned at birth, denying accession or reenlistment, or engaging in any other form of discrimination against service members. This legislation is designed to ensure that transgender individuals can serve in the military without facing discrimination, protecting their right to serve based on their individual qualifications and abilities rather than their gender identity.
