The bill requires the Secretary of Defense to study the impact of COVID-19 vaccination mandates on service members, particularly regarding the transfer of education benefits to dependents. The study will include the number of covered individuals affected, denials of religious exemptions, and the return of discharged service members. It also mandates analysis of the budgetary impact of allowing education benefits for dependents regardless of the completion of service and requires recommendations to address the separation of affected individuals. The report's findings will be made publicly available online. The bill defines terms such as 'covered individual' and 'covered dependent' in the context of the study.
