The Restore Military Families' Voices Act modifies federal rules governing privatized military housing to strengthen protections for military families. The bill prohibits landlords from requiring military tenants, prospective tenants, or former tenants to sign nondisclosure agreements or confidentiality agreements related to housing conditions or services. It also expands whistleblower protections by allowing tenants to report problems to additional entities including the Defense Department's Chief Housing Officer, inspectors general, and members of Congress without fear of retaliation from landlords. The legislation requires the Inspector General to notify the relevant military department and congressional Armed Services committees within ten business days of receiving any retaliation reports. The bill applies to all types of military housing, including family housing and unaccompanied housing, and does not specify new funding requirements or implementation timelines.
