Earlier this month, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and U.S. Representative Derek Kilmer (D-Wash.) introduced the Veterans and Service Members Employment Rights and Housing Act of 2013, a bill that would prohibit discrimination on the basis of military service or veteran status. The bill would amend the federal Fair Housing Act to add military status as being protected under the law for service members or veterans who want to rent or purchase a home.
