This bill requires the Department of Defense to notify Congress at least 30 days before canceling or terminating contracts that would eliminate 50 or more jobs at remote military installations, or 100 or more contractor jobs overall. The law applies to contractors who work at isolated military bases and live in the surrounding communities, helping protect rural economies that depend heavily on these installations. The Defense Secretary can waive the 30-day notice requirement only for national security reasons, but must then report the cancellation to Congress within one week. This legislation protects rural and isolated communities from sudden job losses by giving Congress advance warning of major defense contract changes that could devastate local economies.
