Urges US Congress to pass legislation to reinstate service members discharged for refusing COVID-19 vaccine.

ACR 45 is a New Jersey concurrent resolution urging Congress to pass H.R.7570, which would allow service members discharged for refusing COVID-19 vaccines to be reinstated to their previous rank and have their discharge status changed from "general under honorable conditions" to "honorable." This directly affects military personnel discharged under the 2021 vaccine mandate, as their current discharges may limit access to benefits and future employment. H.R.7570 would provide a process to correct discharge classifications without requiring service members to re-enlist. The resolution reflects New Jersey's support for military personnel impacted by the vaccination policy.
