A Federal district judge has ruled that support to BSA under section 2554 of Reference (g) is unconstitutional, and
has enjoined the Department of Defense from providing future support under that statute. The Department of
Defense is appealing that order. However, unless the order is overturned on appeal, the Department of Defense
cannot provide any support to BSA using this statute. Contact your local legal office for further guidance.
