Military Justice Improvement Act

The Military Justice Improvement Act is proposed legislation aimed at reforming how sexual assault and other serious crimes are prosecuted within the military. It seeks to give trained, independent military prosecutors—not command-commanders—more authority to decide and handle such cases, ensuring fairer and more impartial justice. The goal is to improve accountability, reduce victim intimidation, and enhance trust in the military justice system by removing potential conflicts of interest that can arise when commanders oversee prosecutions.
