Bill overview
This bill establishes the Commission to Study the Stigmatization, Criminalization, and Ongoing Exclusion and Inequity for LGBTQ Servicemembers and Veterans. The commission’s primary goal is to investigate the historical and ongoing impact of discriminatory policies against LGBTQ individuals in the military, including policies like ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’ It will gather testimonies, examine the resulting physical and mental health effects, and recommend remedies such as apologies, record amendments, and policy revisions to promote inclusivity and support for LGBTQ veterans.
