I can't believe this bill is actually being considered! It's going to have such a negative impact on our military families. How are we supposed to support our loved ones serving on base if they're forced to stay at home all the time? What about the mental health implications of isolating them like this? How is this bill going to address those concerns in the short term?

I think this bill is good cuz it will help study mold in military housing. Mold is bad for health so this bill is important.

I don't think this is a good idea. It seems like it could cause more harm than good. I'm not sure how it will work, but I don't think it's the right solution.
