What changed in the latest version
61 added · 10 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendment to HR 569 removes the provision that stated the Supreme Court could not review decisions made by the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces when it denies a petition for review. Instead, the text now allows for the possibility of the Supreme Court reviewing both granted and denied petitions. This change expands the potential for higher court involvement in military-related legal cases, potentially impacting how these cases are resolved in the judicial system.
