RESTORE Act

This bill establishes a special review board to address career impacts on service members who requested religious exemptions from the COVID-19 vaccine and remained in the military. The board will audit all such requests since 2020, assess whether promotions, assignments, or records were unfairly harmed, and order corrections like backdated promotions, restored pay, and expungement of negative records (e.g., reprimands or promotion denials). Service members directly affected are those who filed vaccine-related religious accommodation requests and stayed in service. The review must be completed within one year, with corrective actions finalized within 60 days of case reviews.
