What this bill would do
This bill is about making sure military recruiters can easily reach high school students. It updates the rules for how local educational agencies and secondary schools must grant access to military recruiters. Specifically, schools must give military recruiters the same campus access that they give to colleges and other employers. Schools are also required to help set up at least four in-person recruiting events per academic year upon request. Additionally, schools must hand over student contact information to military recruiters within certain timeframes.

Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Equal Campus Access: Under Section 1, paragraph (1), amending clause (i), schools must give military recruiters the exact same access to high school campuses for recruiting students who are at least 17 years old as they give to any other employer, college, or recruiter. This ensures military recruiters are treated fairly and equally compared to other potential paths for students.
-
Organized Recruitment Events: Under Section 1, paragraph (2), amending clause (ii), schools must facilitate at least four in-person recruitment events per academic year across different grading periods when military recruiters ask for them. This provides students with consistent, scheduled opportunities to learn about military options face-to-face.
-
Guaranteed Access to Student Information: Under Section 1, paragraph (3), amending clause (iii), schools must provide military recruiters with student names, academic grades, addresses, school emails, and phone listings within 60 days of the school year starting, or within 30 days of a later request. This makes sure recruiters quickly receive the necessary contact details to reach out to students.
