A bill to require reporting on sexual assault in surveys.
This bill amends military surveys to require reporting on specific indicators of sexual assault, including unwanted sexual contact. It directly affects how the Department of Defense collects data on sexual assault within the armed forces. The key change adds a new requirement for surveys to document whether assaults involved targeting or discrimination based on a victim's sexual orientation or group status. This focuses on gathering more detailed data about assault motivations, not changing victim support services or legal penalties.
