The Department of Defense (DoD) has established a new system of records called the "Military Corrections and Parole Board Records," which tracks military Service members confined for violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. This system helps manage information on the confinement, health assessments, and parole decisions of these individuals. Additionally, the DoD is proposing a rule to exempt certain parts of this system from provisions of the Privacy Act to ensure smoother functionality across different departments within the DoD. Public comments on parts of the system’s uses will be accepted until January 22, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Defense Department has a new system to keep track of soldiers who did something wrong and are in jail. They're making rules so everything works smoothly, but they want to skip some regular privacy rules to do this better.
