Plain Language Summary

# Valor Has No Expiration Act Summary **What It Does:** The Valor Has No Expiration Act would allow military service members and veterans to wear military medals and decorations they've earned at any time, without time restrictions. Currently, regulations may limit when certain service members can wear their awards in official or public settings. This bill would remove those limitations, enabling veterans and active-duty personnel to display their earned honors whenever they choose. **Who It Affects:** Military service members, both active duty and retired veterans, would be the primary beneficiaries.

The change would affect military regulations and potentially federal employee policies regarding uniform standards and dress codes. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA) but remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. No significant action has been taken on the measure at this time.
