S 3154 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Service Academies District of Columbia Equality Act of 2025

This bill (S 3154) increases the number of appointments from Washington D.C. to each of the three U.S. service academies. It amends existing law to raise the annual quota from five to fifteen D.C. residents eligible for appointment to the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis), and U.S. Air Force Academy. The change directly affects D.C. residents seeking appointment to these academies by expanding their access to a limited number of slots. The key mechanism is a straightforward numerical adjustment in the statute, without creating new programs or funding.
