Prepared by: Military and Veterans Affairs, Space, and Domestic Security Committee (MS)
The bill reenacts provisions of law establishing and implementing the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children (Compact) and provides for future legislative review and repeal of the Compact on July 1, 2025. As a member of the Compact, the state has an established State Council. Participation in the Compact enables member states to address educational transition issues faced by military families and their students as they transfer from a state or school district pursuant to official military orders.
The bill also provides for the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives each to select a member of the State Council, increasing the membership from seven to eight members.
If approved by the Governor, these provisions take effect upon becoming law.
Vote: Senate 37-0; House 112-0
