Bill > HR5095

This bill amends two sections of the United States Code to provide exemptions and protections for military housing. Specifically, the bill excludes most military housing facilities from the National Historic Preservation Act requirements, allowing the Department of Defense greater flexibility in managing its housing inventory. The Secretary of Defense can exempt up to one-tenth of one percent of military housing units from this exemption, with a stipulation that any facility already listed on the National Register of Historic Places as of January 20, 2025, cannot be excluded. Additionally, the bill prohibits landlords of privatized military housing from requesting tenants to sign nondisclosure agreements related to lease terms or housing services, with an exception for agreements executed as part of litigation settlements. This provision applies retroactively to any existing nondisclosure agreements. The bill aims to streamline military housing management and protect the rights of military personnel and their families by reducing bureaucratic constraints and preventing potential suppression of housing-related issues through nondisclosure agreements.
