of a previous selection board that resulted in the action corrected in
the person's military records.
``(b) Relief Associated With Corrections of Certain Actions.--(1)
The Secretary concerned shall ensure that a person receives relief
under paragraph (2) or (3), as the person may elect, if the person--
``(A) was separated or retired from an armed force, or
transferred to the retired reserve or to inactive status in a
reserve component, as a result of a recommendation of a
selection board; and
``(B) becomes entitled to retention on or restoration to
active duty or active status in a reserve component as a result
of a correction of the person's military records under
subsection (a).
``(2)(A) With the consent of a person referred to in paragraph (1),
the person shall be retroactively and prospectively restored to the
same status, rights, and entitlements (less appropriate offsets against
back pay and allowances) in the person's armed force as the person
would have had if the person had not been selected to be separated,
retired, or transferred to the retired reserve or to inactive status in
a reserve component, as the case may be, as a result of an action
corrected under subsection (a). An action under this subparagraph is
subject to subparagraph (B).
``(B) Nothing in subparagraph (A) shall be construed to permit a
person to be on active duty or in an active status in a reserve
component after the date on which the person would have been separated,
retired, or transferred to the retired reserve or to inactive status in
a reserve component if the person had not been selected to be
separated, retired, or transferred to the retired reserve or to
inactive status in a reserve component, as the case may be, in an
action of a selection board that is corrected under subsection (a).
``(3) If the person does not consent to a restoration of status,
rights, and entitlements under paragraph (2), the person shall receive
back pay and allowances (less appropriate offsets) and service credit
for the period beginning on the date of the person's separation,
retirement, or transfer to the retired reserve or to inactive status in
a reserve component, as the case may be, and ending on the earlier of--
``(A) the date on which the person would have been so
restored under paragraph (2), as determined by the Secretary
concerned; or
``(B) the date on which the person would otherwise have
been separated, retired, or transferred to the retired reserve
or to inactive status in a reserve component, as the case may
be.
``(c) Finality of Unfavorable Action.--If a special board makes a
recommendation not to correct the military records of a person
regarding action taken in the case of that person on the basis of a
previous report of a selection board, the action previously taken on
that report shall be considered as final as of the date of the action
taken on that report.
``(d) Regulations.--(1) The Secretary concerned may prescribe
regulations to carry out this section (other than subsection (e)) with
respect to the armed force or armed forces under the jurisdiction of
the Secretary.
``(2) The Secretary may prescribe in the regulations the
circumstances under which consideration by a special board may be
provided for under this section, including the following:

person's case by a special board is contingent upon application
by or for that person.
``(B) Any time limits applicable to the filing of an
application for consideration.

department under this subsection shall be subject to the approval of
the Secretary of Defense.
``(e) Judicial Review.--(1) A person challenging for any reason the
action or recommendation of a selection board, or the action taken by
the Secretary concerned on the report of a selection board, is not
entitled to relief in any judicial proceeding unless the person has
first been considered by a special board under this section or the
Secretary concerned has denied such consideration.
``(2) A court of the United States may review a determination by
the Secretary concerned under this section not to convene a special
board. A court may set aside such determination only if it finds the
determination to be arbitrary or capricious, not based on substantial
evidence, or otherwise contrary to law. If a court sets aside a
determination not to convene a special board, it shall remand the case
to the Secretary concerned, who shall provide for consideration of the
person by a special board under this section.
``(3) A court of the United States may review the recommendation of
a special board convened under this section and any action taken by the
Secretary concerned on the report of such special board. A court may
set aside such recommendation or action, as the case may be, only if it
finds that the recommendation or action was contrary to law or involved
a material error of fact or a material administrative error. If a court
sets aside the recommendation of a special board, it shall remand the
case to the Secretary concerned, who shall provide for reconsideration
of the person by another special board. If a court sets aside the
action of the Secretary concerned on the report of a special board, it
shall remand the case to the Secretary concerned for a new action on
the report of the special board.
``(f) Exclusivity of Remedies.--Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, but subject to subsection (g), the remedies provided under this
section are the only remedies available to a person for correcting an
action or recommendation of a selection board regarding that person or
an action taken on the report of a selection board regarding that
person.

the jurisdiction of any court of the United States under any provision
of law to determine the validity of any statute, regulation, or policy
relating to selection boards, except that, in the event that any such
statute, regulation, or policy is held invalid, the remedies prescribed
in this section shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to
any person challenging the recommendation of a special board on the
basis of the invalidity.
``(2) Nothing in this section limits authority to correct a
military record under section 1552 of this title.
``(h) Timeliness of Action.--(1) For the purposes of subsection
(e)--

complete application for consideration by a special board, the
Secretary concerned shall have neither convened a special board
nor denied consideration by a special board, the Secretary
shall be deemed to have been denied such consideration.
``(B) If, not later than one year after the convening of a
special board, the Secretary concerned shall not have taken
final action on the report of such board, the Secretary shall
be deemed to have denied relief to the person applying for
consideration by the board.
``(2) Under regulations prescribed in accordance with subsection
(d), the Secretary concerned may exclude an individual application from
the time limits prescribed in this subsection if the Secretary
determines that the application warrants a longer period of
consideration. The authority of the Secretary of a military department
under this paragraph may not be delegated.
