Servicemember Residence Protection Act

HR 2334, the Servicemember Residence Protection Act, amends the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to prevent state "squatter's rights" laws from applying to properties owned by active-duty military members. The bill specifically blocks states from allowing squatters to claim ownership of a servicemember's home during the member's period of military service. This directly protects deployed servicemembers and their families by ensuring their property rights remain secure while they serve. The key mechanism is a new federal provision (Section 301A) that overrides conflicting state laws for military-owned properties occupied by squatters during active service.
