Bottom line

S. 4164 enacts minor technical adjustments to the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026.

What it actually does

This bill makes two technical corrections to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (Public Law 119-60). Specifically, it clarifies the qualifications for judge advocates in the Uniform Code of Military Justice by amending the language regarding their license status and removes the word "posthumous" from the section heading authorizing the award of the Distinguished-service Cross to Isaac "Ike" Camacho.

Section 1(a)

Clarification of Judge Advocate Qualifications

prominently featuredstraightforward

This provision amends section 806(a)(1)(B) of title 10, United States Code (article 6 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice), which was added by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026. It clarifies the qualifications for judge advocates by stating that they must "maintain a license status in good standing that provides eligibility to practice law." This ensures that military lawyers meet clear and consistent professional licensing standards.

Section 1(b)

Correction to Isaac "Ike" Camacho Award Authorization

prominently featuredstraightforward

This provision makes a technical correction to Section 592 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026. It removes the word "posthumous" from the section heading that authorizes the award of the Distinguished-service Cross to Isaac "Ike" Camacho for acts of valor in Vietnam. This correction indicates that the award is not intended to be given after death, or that the previous designation was an error.
