Restore Honor to Service Members Act of 2023
The Restore Honor to Service Members Act of 2023 establishes a Department of Defense "Tiger Team" to help former service members with certain discharge characterizations (discharged under pre-2011 policies like "former section 654") seek review of their military records. The team will collaborate with veterans' groups, the VA, and other stakeholders to identify eligible veterans, contact them about the review process, and simplify the request by removing documentation requirements. It mandates regular reports to Congress on outreach efforts, the number of veterans contacted, and outcomes, including how many received honorable discharge upgrades. The bill also clarifies that veterans' benefits from the change in discharge status apply from the effective date of the review, not retroactively.
