Service Academies District of Columbia Equality Act of 2023

This bill increases the number of District of Columbia residents who can be appointed to each U.S. military service academy from five to fifteen annually. It directly affects D.C. residents seeking admission to the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), U.S. Naval Academy, and U.S. Air Force Academy by expanding their reserved appointment slots. The key mechanism amends specific sections of Title 10 of the U.S. Code (§7442 for West Point, §8454 for Annapolis, and §9442 for the Air Force Academy) to change the numerical limits. This is a concrete policy change that modifies federal law governing academy appointments for D.C. residents.
