BOONDOGGLE Act
S 2063, the BOONDOGGLE Act, limits travel allowances for military members seeking professional development training. It requires that such training directly relate to a member's military job and prohibits funding for activities related to sexual orientation or that promote superiority based on sex, race, or religion. The bill amends U.S. Code Section 453 to add these specific restrictions on travel allowances. It directly affects uniformed service members who use government funds for training outside their regular duties. The key change is restricting travel funding to job-related training only, banning support for certain identity-focused or discriminatory activities.
