Rubio, Banks Push Bill To Ban Some Trans Military Service

  • Top Republicans in the Senate and House introduced new legislation on Thursday that would ban some transgender people from serving in the military, reviving a similar policy that was enacted under the Trump administration.
  • The Ensuring Military Readiness Act, sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), would disqualify Americans who identify as transgender, have a history of gender dysphoria or who have undergone gender reassignment surgery.
  • The legislation would force the Defense Secretary to issue an updated policy within 90 days of the bill’s enactment into law.
