摘要

On 22 December 2010, President Obama signed the Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010.The Act repeals 10 U.S.C § 654 sixty days after the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff certify that three actions have occurred: (1) that they have considered the Department of Defense Comprehensive Review on repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell; (2) that the Department of Defense has established the necessary policies and regulations to implement repeal; and (3) that implementation of those policies and regulations is consistent with military readiness, effectiveness, cohesion, retention, and recruiting.Until certification occurs, current regulations and directives implementing 10 U.S.C. § 654 are still in effect.
