The Military Personnel Confirmation Restoration Act of 2023 would also make an adjustment to the affected servicemembers\u2019 time in grade and other administrative fixes. The bipartisan legislation has 52 co-sponsors and now heads to the House of Representatives.\n\n\u201cI am grateful for the Senate\u2019s unanimous support to pass this crucial legislation to provide military officers and their families with the pay and benefits they deserve,\u201d said Senator Tillis. \u201cOur brave servicemembers defend our nation every day, and their pay and benefits should be immune from the partisan gridlock and political infighting in our nation\u2019s capital. This legislation ensures delayed pay and benefits are fully restored to those who bravely serve our country.\u201d\n\nFull text of the legislation can be found HERE.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.tillis.senate.gov/2023/12/senate-passes-tillis-co-sponsored-legislation-to-provide-back-pay-for-officers-impacted-by-military-promotion-hold"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6136609483510256, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
