Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend title 10, United States Code, to increase the number of individuals from the District of Columbia who may be appointed to military service academies.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change federal law to allow more people from Washington, D.C. to attend the U.S. military service academies, such as West Point and Annapolis. Currently, D.C. residents have limited access to these academies because D.C. is not a state. The bill, sponsored by Senator Tim Kaine, treats D.C. more like a state for academy appointment purposes. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and is in the early stage of the legislative process.
