This bill, titled the "Restore Military Families' Voices Act," significantly amends title 10, United States Code, to enhance protections for tenants of privatized military housing. A key provision prohibits landlords from requesting or requiring nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) from any current, former, or prospective tenant. This prohibition explicitly covers all housing units, including accompanied family housing and military unaccompanied housing, and extends to services related to the housing unit. The legislation also expands safeguards against retaliation for tenants who report concerns about their housing. It broadens the list of entities to whom tenants can report issues without fear of reprisal, now including the Chief Housing Officer of the Department of Defense , an inspector general , and members of Congress . Furthermore, the bill strengthens the reporting process by requiring the Inspector General to notify the Secretary of the military department concerned and relevant congressional committees within 10 business days of receiving a reprisal report. It also mandates that the Secretary of the military department concerned inform the Inspector General upon taking final action regarding a reprisal determination.
