To require the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program for emerging technologies for moisture control and mitigation in covered housing, to standardize certain mold remediation guidelines, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to start a pilot program within 90 days to test and use new technologies for controlling moisture and mold in military family and unaccompanied housing. The program would run at three to five military installations, with priority for areas with high humidity, frequent rain, or outdated heating and cooling systems, and would end five years after the law takes effect. The program would include moisture sensors, mold removal tools, staff training, and a report to Congress on results, costs, and benefits. The bill would also require the Department of Defense to create uniform mold cleanup guidelines across the military departments within 180 days, consistent with state, local, and industry standards.
