Choose one provision, then read a short overview or the exact updated-bill language.

Companion to the Military Accountability and Service Member Protection Act of 2027 (MAPSA) · Not introduced legislation

This is proposed language, not enacted law. It is not a verified line-by-line comparison against the current United States Code.

All 37 sections in the supplied bill appear in their original order across eight titles.

Proposed Act § 101

10 U.S.C. § 893

Art. 93 — Abuse of authority, cruelty, oppression, and maltreatment

In brief

EXPANSION AND REDESIGNATION OF ARTICLE 93.

Replaces Article 93 in full. It adds abuse of military authority; retains and expands cruelty and maltreatment protections; defines aggravated circumstances; and creates a death-resulting offense requiring culpable negligence, actual causation, and proximate causation. Suicide alone does not establish an offense.
