Bill 118 hr 10313, also known as the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) Amendment, aims to address the issue of residential leases for military service members who are deployed. The bill proposes an automatic extension of residential leases for service members who are deployed, ensuring that they do not face penalties or eviction due to their military service.
The SCRA currently provides certain protections for service members, such as the ability to terminate residential leases early without penalty when they receive orders for a permanent change of station or deployment lasting 90 days or more. However, this bill seeks to further support service members by automatically extending their leases for the duration of their deployment, providing them with stability and peace of mind during their service to the country.
In addition to the automatic extension of residential leases, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to the SCRA. These may include additional protections for service members in various aspects of their lives, such as financial obligations, legal proceedings, and other matters that may be affected by their military service.
Overall, the SCRA Amendment Bill 118 hr 10313 aims to ensure that service members are not disadvantaged or burdened by their military service when it comes to their residential leases. By providing automatic extensions and other protections, the bill seeks to support and honor the sacrifices made by service members in defense of the nation.
