Summary
This is a procedural resolution (H. Res. 1247) that sets the terms for House consideration of H.R. 2102, the Major Richard Star Act. The underlying bill would amend federal law to allow certain military retirees with combat-related disabilities to receive both their military retired pay and veterans' disability compensation concurrently, specifically expanding eligibility to Chapter 61 disability retirees with fewer than 20 years of service who qualify for combat-related special compensation. The resolution waives procedural objections and allocates debate time between the Armed Services and Veterans' Affairs committees.
