This Act addresses the consequences of delays in Senate confirmation for senior military officers. It ensures that officers confirmed after a period of suspension receive retroactive pay, allowances, and benefits, calculated from the date their promotion should have taken effect. While directly impacting military leadership, the law aims to maintain morale and stability within the Armed Forces, supporting national security.
Key points
Senior military officers (O-7 grade and higher) whose promotions were delayed will receive retroactive pay and benefits.
Seniority and effective promotion dates for these officers will be set 30 days after their nomination was placed on the Senate Executive Calendar.
The law waives any negative legal or regulatory restrictions resulting from the Senate confirmation delay.
