S 435 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Ensuring Military Readiness Act of 2023

This bill restricts military service for transgender individuals by disqualifying those with a history of gender dysphoria (except under specific conditions) and banning gender transition procedures. It requires all service members to serve in their biological sex, with a 36-month stability period needed for those diagnosed with gender dysphoria before accession. Military records must reflect biological sex, and treatment for gender dysphoria cannot include gender transition procedures. The law directly affects transgender service members and applicants, altering eligibility and medical care policies within the military.
