What it does
The bill requires the Secretary of Defense to write a report each year. The report must say what has been done and what still needs to happen. It must include when the work will be finished. Each military branch gets its own section. The military must put the report on a public website within 30 days.
Who it affects
Military families can see if the military is keeping its promise. The public can track the progress too.
One thing to notice
The bill makes the military report the same information every year. This creates a regular check on whether the military is doing what it promised.
