AI Summary
This bill provides for an exception to the existing law that prohibits the appointment of a person as Secretary of Defense within seven years of their relief from active duty as a regular commissioned officer in the Armed Forces. Specifically, this bill allows the first person appointed as Secretary of Defense after the enactment of this bill to be someone who is at least three years, but less than seven years, removed from their active duty service as a regular commissioned officer. This is a one-time exception to the existing seven-year requirement.
