   Adds a section

   In S. 1197 · Placed on Calendar Senate

   It is the sense of the Senate that State courts should not consider a military deployment, including past, present, or future deployment, as the sole factor in determining child custody in a State court proceeding involving a parent who is a member of the Armed Forces. The best interest of the child should always prevail in custody cases, but members of the Armed Forces should not lose custody of their children based solely upon service to our country.

   Inserted: SEC. 1054. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR FULL PAYMENT OF PRIVATE SCIENTIFIC AND FORENSIC LABORATORIES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ON CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS AND TRAINING.

   Inserted: Amounts available to the Department of Defense for payments to private scientific and forensic laboratories for services provided to the Department of Defense with respect to criminal investigations and training may be used to fully reimburse such laboratories for the costs of such services.
