Washington D.C. – In honor of Military Appreciation Month and Memorial Day U.S. Congressman John Carter will introduce H.R. 6070 the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act Friday May 23rd at 1:00 p.m. The press conference will take place at the Fort Hood Visitor Control Center located off of Highway 190. Carter will be joined by local military spouses who support this bill.
The Military Spouses Residency Relief Act amends the Servicemember’s Civil Relief Act (SCRA) to allow a military spouse who moves out of the state with their servicemember because of military orders to have the option to claim the same state of domicile as their active duty spouse regardless of where they are stationed.
“With Fort Hood in Texas’ 31st District we are reminded daily of the sacrifices made by our service men and women. We owe the highest merit to these brave soldiers” Congressman Carter said. “But it is also important that we recognize the sacrifices and efforts made by the spouses and families of these soldiers and assist them in the challenges they face.”
