What it does
The bill establishes a Commission on Equity and Reconciliation in the Uniformed Services to examine the historical and ongoing impacts of discriminatory policies based on sexual orientation and gender identity within the military and veteran systems. The Commission will gather testimonies, analyze effects on health, employment, benefits, and force readiness, and recommend remedies such as apologies, compensation, discharge upgrades, and improved access to gender-affirming care. Comprising 15 members appointed by congressional and executive officials, the Commission must submit a report to Congress within one year of its first meeting.
