Military Installation Readiness and Resilience Act of 2026
To direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure regular data collection on the costs and effects of extreme weather and incremental change at military installations, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9888, aims to require the Secretary of Defense to gather and report on the costs and impacts of extreme weather and gradual changes at military bases. This data will help in understanding how climate-related issues are affecting our nation's defense infrastructure.
The bill would affect the Department of Defense and all military personnel, as well as local communities around military installations. By ensuring regular data collection, the bill hopes to improve preparedness and resilience against weather-related challenges.
HB9888 was introduced on July 22, 2026, and was immediately referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. As of now, the bill is in its early stages of the legislative process. Key next steps will likely involve committee review, possible amendments, and a vote by the full House.
