STAY Act

Sponsored By: Representative Kiggans, Jennifer A. [R-VA-2]

Introduced

Summary

Reduce the frequency of permanent changes of station (PCS) and adjust sea-shore rotations to give military families more stability. This bill would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to deliver a report by March 1, 2026, studying options to cut how often service members move and to modify naval sea-shore rotations.

Show full summary
  • Families: Would require an assessment of how fewer moves affect spouse employment and children's education and identify where longer tours could improve family stability.
  • Service members: Would evaluate effects on retention and career progression and identify specific billets and duty stations where extended tours or rotation adjustments are operationally feasible.
  • Military departments and budgets: Would include a cost analysis disaggregated by service and occupational specialty covering the five fiscal years before the report and an estimate of potential cost savings from reduced PCS and rotations.
  • Policymakers: Would include recommendations for legislative or policy changes and for pilot programs to test extended tour lengths or rotation adjustments.
