Bill overview
This bill, the Fair Debt Collection Practices for Servicemembers Act, amends the existing Fair Debt Collection Practices Act to provide stronger protections for members of the military and their families when dealing with debt collectors. Specifically, it prohibits debt collectors from threatening servicemembers with rank reductions, security clearance revocation, or prosecution under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The bill also includes a provision for a study by the Government Accountability Office to assess the impact of these changes on military readiness and national security.
