To amend title 38, United States Code, to authorize the termination of Servicemen's Group Life Insurance when premiums are not paid.
Latest action. For Further Action See H.R.2843.
Terminates Servicemen's Group Life Insurance (SGLI) coverage for a member of the Ready Reserve 60 days after the date that the premium for such insurance coverage is due and unpaid. Requires SGLI termination to be made by written notice, effective 60 days after the date of such notice. Allows SGLI termination to be vacated if, before its effective date, the individual remits all amounts past due and demonstrates to the Secretary of the military department concerned that the failure to make timely remittance was justifiable.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
The latest action on file does not map to a stage Civibrief recognizes, so the page will not name one. The record's own words are the reliable fact here.
The record's latest action, on January 4, 1996: For Further Action See H.R.2843.
How likely is it to become law?
Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.
In the 104th Congress (1995-96), 333 of the 6,806 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 4.9 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.
This one has no outstanding steps listed above.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
BOB STUMP (R-AZ) introduced it on August 1, 1995, and 1 member has since signed on as a cosponsor.
They are 1 Democrat.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on August 1, 1995, 11364 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 11208 days ago, on January 4, 1996.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 104th Congress has not finished by January 3, 1997 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
