AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill concerns members of the Armed Forces who are separated from service only because they have pseudofolliculitis barbae, a skin condition caused by shaving. It would require the military department Secretary to list such a separation as honorable. It would also bar the Department of Veterans Affairs from denying these former members benefits because they did not complete the minimum active-duty service period required under federal law.
