Military Academy Honor and Conduct Act

HR 5730, the Military Academy Honor and Conduct Act, requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to submit a report by February 1, 2024, updating a 1995 study on honor systems at the Service Academies (West Point, Annapolis, etc.). The report must compare each academy's honor codes, punishments, due process protections, and how misconduct affects service records, while also measuring cadet/midshipman perceptions and recommending improvements. This bill does not change existing policies but mandates a comprehensive review of how military academies handle conduct and honor matters. It directly affects the Service Academies' administrative processes and their reporting to Congress.
