HR 126 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to urge the United States Armed Forces to expand the use of medical waivers for recruits with food allergies, including allergies to peanuts.

This resolution urges the U.S. military to expand medical waivers for recruits with food allergies, including peanuts, under existing Department of Defense guidelines. It specifically targets current disqualifying rules (DODI 6130.03) that exclude applicants with certain allergies, while noting the Air Force already allows waivers for non-anaphylactic cases. The resolution highlights that such changes would allow more eligible applicants - like the estimated 140,000 Michigan adults with peanut allergies - to serve without restricting career options. As a procedural resolution, it does not change policy but formally requests the Department of Defense to broaden waiver availability.
