CS/SB 574 — Termination of Agreements by a Servicemember

by Military and Veterans Affairs, Space, and Domestic Security Committee and Senator Burgess

This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.

Prepared by: Military and Veterans Affairs, Space, and Domestic Security Committee (MS)

The bill creates a definition of the term “government quarters” applicable to the termination of a rental agreement by a servicemember who receives military orders requiring him or her to move into government quarters, or who becomes eligible to live in and opts to move into government quarters. The effect of adding the definition is that privatized military housing that is owned, operated, or managed by a private sector company may qualify as available government quarters which would allow a servicemember to terminate a private rental agreement.

If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor’s signature, these provisions take effect July 1, 2023.

Vote: Senate 39-0; House 115-0
