LLM-only estimate
The bill enjoys bipartisan support, led by Representatives Miller-Meeks and Dingell, and addresses a non-controversial issue of supporting military families. Because the expansion is limited to a 'space-available' basis, it does not require significant new infrastructure or displace veterans, making it a low-cost, high-sentiment bill likely to be passed or included in a larger defense authorization package.
