This bill, known as the RESTORE Act, aims to restore fairness to service members who filed religious accommodation requests, particularly concerning the COVID-19 vaccine, and ensure their career progression is justly reviewed. It mandates the Secretary of Defense to establish a Special Review Board under the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. This board is tasked with auditing all religious accommodation decisions since 2020 and reviewing the personnel records of service members who requested a COVID-19 vaccine religious accommodation and remained in service. The Special Review Board's duties include determining if a service member's career progression, promotions, assignments, or retention were negatively affected by their religious accommodation request or vaccine refusal. It will adjudicate and take corrective actions, such as providing backdated promotions , correcting Dates of Rank, restoring lost pay and benefits, and even reinstating service members who left due to an unlawfully denied accommodation. Furthermore, the board must ensure the expungement of all adverse administrative actions related to COVID-19 vaccine refusal or other protected religious accommodations from service members' records. The bill sets a one-year timeline for the board to complete its review and requires a detailed report to Congress within 60 days thereafter, outlining findings and corrective actions. It also mandates initial and quarterly reports from the Secretary of Defense to Congress, along with an independent audit by the Department of Defense Inspector General within 18 months to assess compliance with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) and the consistent application of religious accommodations across the Department.
