Timeline

  • Mar 18Read the second time. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 361.

Summary

**What it does:** This bill would make Ashli Babbitt ineligible to receive military funeral honors. **Who it affects:** Ashli Babbitt (the individual named in the bill) and her family members who might otherwise be entitled to request military funeral honors for her. **What would change:** Currently, veterans who served honorably are generally eligible for military funeral honors, which can include ceremonial elements like flag folding, playing of Taps, and honor guard participation. If passed, this bill would specifically exclude Ashli Babbitt from receiving these honors, regardless of her military service record. **Background context:** Military funeral honors are typically provided to veterans who were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. This bill would create a specific exception to that standard practice for this individual case. The bill's impact would be limited to this one person and the military funeral honors program.
