President Biden signed into law S. 4138 on March 20, 2026. This bill specifically waives the standard 60-day notice period required for posthumous honorary promotions within the United States Army. The immediate effect is to facilitate the honorary promotion of Captain Cody Khork.

This legislative action is a one-time waiver for a specific individual. There are no immediate compliance actions required for regulated entities. The change impacts internal government procedures related to military honors and does not impose new obligations on external parties. Compliance officers should note this as a specific legislative amendment to procedural requirements.
