Bill overview
The Get the Lead Out of Military Housing Act aims to protect military personnel and their families from lead exposure by requiring the Department of Defense to address lead-based paint and lead in drinking water in military housing and schools. It mandates lead testing and mitigation efforts, expands lead screening for military children through TRICARE, and requires the GAO to study the effectiveness of these measures. Furthermore, it establishes record-keeping requirements for housing construction dates and introduces penalties for non-compliance and political appointees who fail to meet lead safety standards.
