This legislation, as my friend just pointed out, is really an historic restatement. It strengthens a law that is critically important to all of our reserve components as well as our active-duty members of our Armed Services. The amendment to H.R. 100 would raise the level of eviction protections to reflect the increase in the cost of rental housing in high-cost urban areas. The current act only applies to leases of less than $1,200 a month. The House-Senate compromise would increase the amount to $2,400; and the amount would be increased every year as necessary in accordance with the Consumer Price Index housing component so that the protection stays current.
