What this bill does
H.Res. 1512 is a commemorative resolution marking the 50th anniversary of women's admission to the U.S. service academies. It does not create law, funding, or binding policy changes; instead, it formally expresses the House of Representatives' recognition of the 1975 legislation (Public Law 94-106) that required the U.S. Military Academy, Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, and Coast Guard Academy to admit women, and it honors the first women who entered these academies in 1976 as members of the Class of 1980.
The resolution primarily affects how Congress publicly acknowledges this historical milestone. It honors the specific women who were pioneers at each academy, recognizes all women who have since graduated from and served in the military through these institutions, reaffirms a general commitment to equal opportunity in military education, and encourages the academies to continue preserving and sharing the history of women's integration. It does not impose new requirements on the academies or the Department of Defense beyond this encouragement.
The bill was introduced on September 4, 2026, by Rep. Stephanie Bice with several cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. As a simple House resolution, if it were to pass, it would express the sentiment of the House only and would not require Senate action or the President's signature. No further action has yet been taken beyond introduction and committee referral.
