The section adds a new section 1330 to the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 requiring the Director, within six months of enactment, to make each enterprise put a military service question on the Uniform Residential Loan Application with the options Yes, No, and Prefer Not To Answer, positioned above the signature line.

That sentence, in plain words

The home loan form must ask about military service. It must offer three answers. A person may say yes, no, or that they would rather not say. The question sits above where the person signs.

What this is about

A person who served may qualify for a cheaper loan. The question is how a lender finds out. The third option lets a person keep it private.
