To require the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program for emerging technologies for moisture control and mitigation in covered housing, to standardize certain mold remediation guidelines, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 6759 **What the Bill Does** This bill would require the Department of Defense to create a pilot program testing new technologies designed to control moisture and prevent mold in military housing. It would also establish standardized guidelines for how mold should be cleaned up and remediated across military housing units. The bill aims to address moisture and mold problems that have been documented as issues in some military family housing. **Who It Affects** Military families living in Department of Defense housing would be the primary beneficiaries, as improved moisture control and consistent mold remediation standards could make their homes safer and healthier.

The bill also affects the Defense Department, which would be responsible for implementing and managing the pilot program. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Joe Neguse (D-Colorado) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. At this stage, it remains a proposal under review.
