Hannah Cvancara Service Act
This bill prohibits the U.S. military from excluding individuals with limb amputations from medical personnel roles in the Armed Forces. It directly affects veterans and service members with amputations who wish to serve as medical personnel, regardless of whether the amputation resulted from military service. The key provision removes a specific barrier, ensuring that individuals meeting all other physical fitness and qualification standards cannot be barred solely due to having an amputated limb. This change applies to all medical personnel positions under the military's assignment policies.
