MSC has achieved a number of important and long-sought policy victories on behalf of the moving and storage conference over the past year. 听In the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act that became law last December, MSC secured language to make it less of a hassle for motor carriers to access military bases to serve military families when they receive relocation orders. 听In June, the House passed its version of the Fiscal Year 2025 NDAA, which increased oversight of the DOD's Defense Personal Property Program and its Global Household Goods Contract Program (GHC) by requiring an independent evaluation from the GAO as well as an assessment of the program transition to HASC. 听An amendment submitted by Rep. Mike Waltz requested an evaluation of the 2025 peak season program. 听Furthermore, at the beginning of this year, the Moving Americans Privacy Protection Act that was championed by MSC cleared Congress. 听The new law will help protect the privacy and identity security of American servicemembers, federal employees, private sector workers, and their families who are returning to the United States after living abroad.
听
MSC is currently gearing up for its , scheduled this year for September 10-12. 听The event will bring together industry experts in moving and storage to speak on important issues in committee meetings as well as in meetings with Members of Congress.
