The bill aims to formally include the United States Space Force in all collective references to the United States Armed Forces within Alabama law. It introduces a new section, ยง31-1-8, to the Code of Alabama 1975, which acknowledges the establishment of the Space Force on December 20, 2019, and outlines its mission to conduct global space operations that enhance military operations. The bill mandates that all verbal and written references to the United States Armed Forces will now encompass the Space Force, ensuring its recognition alongside other military branches.
Additionally, the bill directs the Code Commissioner to update all relevant references in Title 31 and other areas of the code to reflect this inclusion at an appropriate time. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text of the bill.
