Stephanie Bice, Sara Jacobs Reintroduce Bipartisan Bill to Ensure Safe, High-Quality Private Military Housing | 2023-09-05 | 2023 | 2023-09 | Republican | House | OK | Stephanie I. Bice | B000740 | bice.house.gov | bice | https://bice.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. — Representatives Stephanie Bice (OK-05) and Sara Jacobs (CA-51) reintroduced bipartisan legislation today to ensure oversight and accountability of privatized military housing to guarantee it’s safe and high-quality for service members and military families.

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’s why I’m 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’s safe and high-quality.” The Military Housing Readiness Council Act would: | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
