Bill > HR3356

This bill amends the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to protect military service members from losing property rights due to state-level squatter's rights laws. Specifically, the bill creates a new section that prevents state laws establishing squatter's rights from being applied to real property owned by a servicemember if that property is occupied by a squatter during the servicemember's period of military service. In practical terms, this means that if a service member is deployed or otherwise on active duty, and a squatter attempts to claim rights to their property through local state laws, those squatter's rights claims would be invalidated at the federal level. The purpose of the bill is to provide additional legal protection for military personnel, ensuring that they do not risk losing ownership of their property while serving their country, regardless of the specific squatter's rights regulations in their home state.
