Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall carry out a pilot program to assess and implement emerging mold monitoring and remediation technologies in military family housing. The Secretary shall select not fewer than three and not more than five military installations at which to carry out the pilot program established under subsection (a). The Secretary shall prioritize selection of military installations in regions with elevated climate-related risk factors for mold growth, such as persistent humidity, frequent rainfall, or outdated HVAC infrastructure.
In carrying out the pilot program established under subsection (a), the Secretary shall— install moisture detection systems with advanced capabilities, including sensor-based humidity or spore monitoring technologies capable of generating early warnings for environmental risk conditions; implement noninvasive or technology-enabled mold remediation tools, such as antimicrobial coatings, dry fogging systems, or UV-based sterilization units; define infrastructure requirements, including upgrades to HVAC systems or building materials, necessary to support sustained mold prevention using the selected mold detection systems; train relevant personnel on the deployment, maintenance, and data interpretation of selected mold detection systems; designate an individual at each military installation selected under subsection
(b)to oversee the implementation of the pilot program; and develop a strategic implementation and evaluation plan to assess performance of the selected mold detection systems and inform future decisions relating to such systems. Not later than 180 days after the termination date in subsection (e), the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the results of the pilot program, including recommendations for broader implementation and an assessment of costs and benefits. Upon completion of the implementation plan required under subsection (c)(6), the Secretary shall provide to the congressional defense committees a briefing on the plan and any preliminary findings. The authority to carry out the pilot program under this section shall terminate on the date that is five years after the date of the enactment of this Act. In this section, the term military family housing means housing provided under subchapter II of chapter 169 of title 10, United States Code.
