The Military Housing Readiness Council Act would create a council to monitor the Department of Defense\u2019s implementation of the tenants\u2019 bill of rights and creation of a public complaint database and publicly report on all its activities.\n\nCongresswoman Stephanie Bice said, \u201cSupporting our servicemembers is a key priority of mine. This is why I am proud to co-lead the Military Housing Readiness Council Act, which will provide oversight and transparency for military housing. It is our duty to ensure that those who have selflessly dedicated their lives to our nation have safe, secure, and accessible housing. While conditions have improved at Tinker AFB there are still numerous issues that we must address both in Oklahoma and across the country.\u201d\n\n\u201cOur service members and military families have sacrificed so much for all of us \u2013 and they\u2019ve earned a safe place to sleep, live, and raise their families,\u201d said Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, Member of the House Armed Services Committee Quality of Life Panel. \u201cBut I\u2019ve heard too many horror stories and have seen for myself the private military housing that\u2019s infested with mice, ridden with mold, has windows that won\u2019t close or electric panels that aren\u2019t up to code. Poor and unsafe housing worsens the health of our service members and their families and impacts our ability to recruit and retain the best and brightest and protect our military readiness. That\u2019s why I\u2019m proud to lead the bipartisan Military Housing Readiness Council Act to help us conduct much-needed oversight and accountability of private military housing and ensure that it\u2019s safe and high-quality.\u201d\n\nThe Military Housing Readiness Council Act would:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:37:48Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bice.house.gov/media/press-releases/reps-stephanie-bice-sara-jacobs-reintroduce-bipartisan-bill-ensure-safe-high"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7583910375833511, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
