Bottom line

This bill primarily renames the federally chartered Reserve Officers Association of the United States to the Reserve Organization of America and updates its organizational charter in the U.S. Code.

What it actually does

This bill enacts technical amendments to Title 36 of the U.S. Code, specifically rechartering the organization currently known as the "Reserve Officers Association of the United States" under the new name "Reserve Organization of America." It updates the organization's federal charter to reflect this name change and modernizes its statutory provisions regarding purposes, membership, governance, powers, exclusive rights to its name and emblems, and operational restrictions. Additionally, it mandates that all existing legal references to the old name be deemed references to the new name.

Section 2(a)

Rechartering and Renaming of the Reserve Organization of America

prominently featuredstraightforward

This provision comprehensively amends Chapter 1901 of Title 36 of the U.S. Code to rename the "Reserve Officers Association of the United States" to the "Reserve Organization of America." It establishes the organization as a federally chartered corporation with perpetual existence, outlining its core purpose to support and promote a military policy for national security. The amendment also details the organization's powers, its exclusive right to use its name and emblems, and sets forth standard restrictions, such as prohibiting business for profit, stock issuance, political activities, and distribution of income or assets to members.

Section 2(b) and (c)

Clerical and Reference Updates

mentioned in summarystraightforward

This provision ensures that the name change is consistently applied across federal documentation. It directs a clerical amendment to the chapter analysis for Title 36, U.S. Code, to reflect the new name "Reserve Organization of America." Furthermore, it mandates that any existing law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States that refers to the "Reserve Officers Association of the United States" shall automatically be deemed a reference to the "Reserve Organization of America." This prevents confusion and ensures legal continuity.
