The resolution urges the United States Congress to pass H.R.7570, which aims to provide protections for service members who were discharged from the Armed Forces for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. Following the Biden administration's mandate for vaccination in 2021, some service members faced disciplinary actions and were discharged, often receiving general discharges under honorable conditions. This classification can negatively impact their future employment opportunities and diminish the recognition of their service contributions.

H.R.7570 seeks to rectify this situation by allowing these service members to be reinstated to their previous ranks and change their discharge status to honorable, thereby ensuring their access to retirement pay and benefits. The resolution reflects New Jersey's appreciation for the sacrifices made by military personnel and emphasizes the importance of respecting individual choices in the context of their service. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key congressional leaders to advocate for the passage of the bill.
