What does this do?
HR 1030 directs the Department of Defense to build a publicly accessible database listing the names, ranks, and service details of military members killed in non-combat aircraft accidents. Records would reach back to 1984 using DoD sources, and further using outside sources. The database must be completed within one year of enactment.
Who does it affect?
The bill directly affects families of service members killed in non-combat military aircraft accidents, including training flights, transport missions, and other routine operations. The Department of Defense is responsible for building the database, staffing family support, and reporting results to Congress.
Why does it matter?
Families may have had difficulty accessing survivor benefits, counseling, and financial assistance they were entitled to receive. Two years after passage, the Defense Department must report to Congress on how many families were helped and how well the program functioned.
