Restoring Lethality Act

The Restoring Lethality Act would remove federal laws and requirements related to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs within the Department of Defense. The bill would amend existing statutes that mandate or authorize DEI initiatives in the military, eliminating those specific provisions from federal law. This would affect various diversity and inclusion requirements that have been established for military personnel, recruitment, and operations. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and has been referred to the Senate Armed Services Committee. As with all introduced legislation, it would require passage by both chambers of Congress and presidential signature to become law.
