HR 5971 United States House · 119th Congress

Service Academies District of Columbia Equality Act

This bill increases the number of annual appointments available for District of Columbia residents at each of the three U.S. service academies (Military, Naval, and Air Force Academies) from five to fifteen. It directly affects DC residents who apply for and receive congressional nominations to attend these academies. The bill amends specific sections of Title 10, U.S. Code, to adjust the numerical limits for DC residents at each academy. This is a procedural change to existing law, not a new program or funding measure.
