Wednesday News Conference Set for Re-introduction of Military Spouses Residency Relief Act

(WASHINGTON, DC) – The Military Spouses Residency Relief Act will be re-introduced into Congress this Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol by Congressman John Carter of Texas.  Carter, House Republican Conference Secretary, passed the bill in the House during the last session of Congress, but the measure did not become law before Congress adjourned in December. 

The bill allows a military spouse who moves out of a state with their service member under military orders to have the option to claim the same state of domicile as their active duty spouse, regardless of where they are stationed. 

The event is scheduled for 12 noon in Room HC-9 of the U.S. Capitol, and is open to supporting groups and the public.
