## Summary

**Bars public video of military executions.** This bill would add Article 57a to the Uniform Code of Military Justice to ban live public broadcasts of executions under a military death sentence and to forbid making execution video available for public viewing after the fact. - Members of the public and news organizations would no longer be able to watch executions controlled by the UCMJ live or access video footage afterward. This stops public transmission and post-event public viewing of those videos. - The military justice system would get a new Article 57a that defines "broadcast live to the public" and makes the ban apply to any UCMJ execution before, on, or after enactment. The text says the prohibition applies notwithstanding other laws. - The section focuses only on prohibitions and definitions. It does not specify funding, new penalties, or administrative enforcement mechanisms in this text.
