This bill significantly increases the penalties for individuals who fraudulently misrepresent themselves as recipients of military decorations, medals, or combat badges. Specifically, it amends title 18, United States Code, to raise the maximum term of imprisonment for such offenses from one year to three years across various categories of false claims, including the Congressional Medal of Honor. Beyond increasing penalties, the legislation directs the Attorney General , in coordination with the Inspector General of the Department of Veterans Affairs, to conduct a comprehensive study . This study aims to identify any monetary or government benefits that have been unlawfully obtained by individuals making false claims about receiving military decorations or medals. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the Attorney General is required to submit a report to Congress detailing the study's findings and proposing policy recommendations to address the identified issues.
