Plain-language summary
Amends Executive Order 11926, which governs the Vice Presidential Service Badge, to expand eligibility beyond the Coast Guard to also include the commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service. It extends eligibility to personnel assigned predominantly to duties for the Vice President for at least one year after January 20, 2001, including those in military units and support facilities covered by Executive Order 12793. It changes who may authorize the badge, replacing the Military Assistant to the Vice President with the Vice President's designee, and adds the Secretaries of Commerce and Health and Human Services for their respective corps members. It bars awarding the badge to anyone already awarded the Presidential Service Badge for the same service period, and makes related wording changes throughout the earlier order. States that it creates no enforceable legal rights.
