To direct the Secretary concerned to reinstate a member involuntarily separated from the Armed Forces solely on the basis of the refusal of such member to receive a vaccination against COVID-19.

This bill requires the military departments to reinstate individuals (upon their request) who were involuntarily separated from the Armed Forces solely based on their refusal to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. Such individuals must be reinstated in the grade they held prior to the separation.

Bill 117 hr 6633, also known as the "Reinstatement of Involuntarily Separated Members Act," aims to direct the Secretary concerned to reinstate a member of the Armed Forces who was involuntarily separated solely due to their refusal to receive a vaccination against COVID-19. The bill seeks to address the issue of service members being discharged from the military for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, which has become a contentious issue within the military.

If passed, this legislation would require the Secretary concerned, which could refer to the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of Homeland Security, to reinstate any service member who was separated from the military solely due to their refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. This reinstatement would be mandatory and would not be subject to any additional conditions or requirements.

The bill is aimed at ensuring that service members are not unfairly discharged from the military for their personal beliefs or decisions regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. It seeks to protect the rights of service members while also ensuring that the military maintains a strong and healthy force to carry out its mission effectively. Overall, Bill 117 hr 6633 is a response to the growing issue of service members being discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine and aims to provide a pathway for reinstatement for those individuals who were separated solely for this reason.
