01 · The brief
Plain-English summaryWhat this bill actually does
<p>Expresses the sense of Congress that courts with fiduciary responsibility for a child of a deceased member of the Armed Forces who receives a death gratuity payment from the Department of Defense (DOD) should take into consideration the expression of clear intent of the member regarding the distribution of funds on behalf of the child.</p>
Why people may split
The main political fault lines are not fully surfaced yet, so coalition durability is still unclear.
Watch point
The next hurdle is reproducing that support in the other chamber.
