The law changes several rules affecting military personnel, military-trained doctors and dentists, travel allowances, and military facilities. Doctors and dentists educated on behalf of the Ministry of National Defense or the Ministry of Interior who leave before completing their service obligation may be barred from practicing for a calculated period tied to their remaining obligation and the time they studied for the state. It also limits extra lodging payments for certain personnel receiving daily allowances, clarifies that several military social and accommodation facilities are treated as military premises, and restricts former officers from returning to active-duty service except where the law allows. A temporary personnel rule is also extended through the 2029-2030 period.

What this law requires
Physicians educated in medical faculties on behalf of the Ministry of National Defense or Ministry of Interior and appointed as officers must not practice medicine for the calculated period if they resign or are dismissed by court or disciplinary board before completing their service obligation; the period is calculated by multiplying the remaining service obligation by the ratio of state-funded study duration to total obligation duration, using day-based calculations.
Dentists educated in dentistry faculties on behalf of the Ministry of National Defense or Ministry of Interior and appointed as officers must not practice dentistry for the calculated period if they resign or are dismissed by court or disciplinary board before completing their service obligation; the period is calculated by multiplying the remaining service obligation by the ratio of state-funded study duration to total obligation duration, using day-based calculations.
Personnel who receive daily allowances under Article 15 of the Travel Allowance Law must not be paid an additional lodging expense under Article 33, except for submarine personnel in domestic ports where accommodation on board cannot be provided.
Army houses, military clubs, barracks clubs, shift dormitories, veteran adaptation houses, and special, local, and winter training centers must be treated as military buildings and military premises.
