Carter Pushes Spouse Bill

摘要

Military spouses who are tired of changing their voting residence, driver's license, and income tax payments after every military-directed move have a champion in Rep. John Carter (R-Texas). Carter's new bill, H.R. 6070, is intended to solve these problems by extending Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act (SCRA) coverage to include military spouses along with servicemembers. If enacted, it would let spouses select the same domicile as their military sponsor, consistent with the state's domicile eligibility requirements.
