S 4138 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to waive the 60-day notice requirement for the posthumous honorary promotion of Captain Cody Khork, United States Army.

This bill waives a 60-day notice requirement to allow for the posthumous promotion of Captain Cody Khork of the United States Army to the rank of major. The legislation directly affects the Army's personnel procedures by removing a standard administrative delay in this specific case. It does not change broader military promotion rules but creates an exception for Captain Khork's recognition. The bill is a procedural measure that facilitates an honorary rank adjustment without altering existing laws for other service members.
