Plain Language Summary

# Department of War Restoration Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill, introduced by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), would rename the Department of Defense back to its original name, the "Department of War." The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions:** The change would primarily be administrative and symbolic, affecting how the federal department responsible for military operations and defense is officially named and referred to in government documents and communications. No changes to the department's actual functions, structure, or operations would occur—it's purely a name change from "Defense" to "War." **Current Status:** The bill remains in committee with no scheduled vote.

It has not advanced further in the legislative process.
