This bill, known as the "Reaffirming Every Servicemembers' Trust Of Religious Exemptions Act" or the "RESTORE Act," mandates the establishment of a Special Review Board within the Department of Defense. Chaired by the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, this board is tasked with auditing religious accommodation requests, specifically those related to the COVID-19 vaccine, and reviewing the personnel records of service members who filed such requests and remained in service. The board's primary duties include conducting a DoD-wide audit of religious accommodation decisions since 2020 to assess compliance with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) . It will determine if service members' careers, including promotions, assignments, and retention, were negatively affected by their religious accommodation requests or COVID-19 vaccine refusals. The board is authorized to take corrective actions such as backdating promotions, correcting Dates of Rank, restoring lost pay and benefits, and even reinstating service members who unlawfully left service. Furthermore, the Special Review Board must ensure the expungement of all adverse administrative actions from service members' records that were related to COVID-19 vaccine refusal or other protected religious accommodations. This includes reprimands, negative evaluations, and promotion delays. The bill also establishes a mechanism for service members to request a review of their records if they believe they were adversely impacted, regardless of the initial accommodation outcome. The board is required to complete its review within one year and submit a detailed report to Congress, outlining its findings and corrective actions. The Secretary of Defense must also provide quarterly reports on the board's progress and an independent audit by the Inspector General is mandated to ensure consistent application of RFRA across the Department of Defense.
