Military Personnel Confirmation Restoration Act of 2023

This bill provides back pay and benefits to senior military officers (O-7 rank or higher) whose promotions were delayed due to a Senate confirmation suspension starting in February 2023. It requires the Secretary of Defense to retroactively pay these officers from a specific date - determined as the later of 30 days after their nomination was placed on the Senate Executive Calendar or the date they would have been appointed without the delay - and to establish their seniority from that same date. The law directly affects officers confirmed between December 5-31, 2023, who were impacted by the confirmation pause. It does not change future confirmation procedures but corrects past financial and career consequences for affected service members.
