Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 282. This is a commonsense bill. It has received bipartisan support as it moved through the committee. It simplifies the process for a spouse of a servicemember to choose and change their State of residency for tax and voting purposes. The bill is about removing additional headaches from servicemembers' lives and doing right by them. There are enough issues being a member of the military and for spouses and family. We don't need to add more to it. This is a smart piece of legislation. It does exactly what it says it is going to do, and I support and encourage all Members to join me in support. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
