Law

This bill fixes small errors in the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, which is the massive annual law that sets the budget and rules for the U.S. military. These technical corrections make sure the law is written correctly so it can be followed without confusion.
One change updates the requirements for military lawyers, called judge advocates. It clarifies that these lawyers must keep their legal licenses in good standing to be eligible to practice law and handle cases within the military justice system.
The bill also corrects a mistake regarding a Distinguished-Service Cross for Vietnam veteran Isaac Ike Camacho. The original law wrongly labeled the award as posthumous, which means given after death. This fix ensures the record is accurate for the living veteran.
