The Healthy Servicemembers Act directs the Secretary of Defense to establish a screening program and registry for military members and their families who have developed health conditions from living in unsafe military housing. The bill covers servicemembers and family members who have resided in housing units that fail federal quality standards or contain dangerous mold levels. The Defense Department must screen eligible individuals at military medical facilities, maintain a registry of those with covered health conditions, and launch a public information campaign to inform people about the registry and how to enroll. The legislation does not specify dedicated funding amounts or implementation timelines, leaving those details to the Secretary of Defense to determine in consultation with relevant scientific agencies.
