Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
H.Res. 994 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House's view that the Secretary of Defense should review current military enlistment rules to allow certain immigrants to join the Armed Forces. Specifically, it asks the Defense Secretary to examine section 504 of federal military law to determine whether people with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status—a program that provides temporary legal protection and work authorization to immigrants brought to the U.S. as children—should be permitted to enlist. The resolution does not change any laws or require action; it simply calls on the Defense Department to conduct a review and make a determination about eligibility. No funding is allocated, and no specific timeline is mentioned for the review.
