A bill to waive the 60-day notice requirement for the posthumous honorary promotion of Captain Cody Khork, United States Army.

Plain-English Summary

This bill waives a standard waiting period required by law so that the U.S. Army can move forward more quickly with an honorary promotion for Captain Cody Khork, a deceased U.S. Army soldier. Normally, when the military wants to give someone a posthumous (after death) promotion, federal law requires a 60-day advance notice period before the promotion can be finalized. This bill simply sets aside that waiting period specifically for Captain Khork's case.

The bill does not change any other rules or requirements around military promotions. It is a narrow, one-time measure focused entirely on honoring this individual service member. Posthumous honorary promotions are a way for the country to formally recognize and pay tribute to soldiers who served and sacrificed, and this bill ensures that recognition can happen without unnecessary delay.

This legislation affects a very small and specific group of people — primarily the family and loved ones of Captain Khork, who will be able to receive this honor in a timelier manner. The bill has completed the full legislative process and has been signed into law by the President as Public Law No. 119-80.
