Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The DoD Dark Sky Stewardship Act requires the Secretary of Defense to conduct an audit and study of light pollution at selected Department of Defense facilities within 18 months of enactment. The audit will evaluate lighting fixtures, identify unnecessary or excessive lighting, and develop a plan for reducing light pollution; the concurrent study will examine how light pollution affects military operations, readiness, and biodiversity, and will evaluate mitigation technologies and the feasibility of establishing dark sky standards. The Secretary must submit a report to Congress within 6 months after completing both the audit and study, and may establish pilot projects to reduce light pollution while ensuring no negative impact on military safety, security, or readiness.
