A bill to promote recruiter access to secondary schools.

Key Points

• This bill, introduced by Senators Cornyn and Kelly, requires high schools to give military recruiters the same level of access to students aged 17 and older as they give to colleges or other businesses.
• High schools would be required to hold at least four in-person military recruiting events each year if a recruiter asks for them. These events must be spread out across different parts of the school year.
• Schools would have to provide the military with lists of student names, grades, home addresses, phone numbers, and school email addresses. This information must be shared within 60 days of the start of the school year or within 30 days of a request.
• The proposal would bypass some existing privacy rules to ensure recruiters can contact students directly. This is intended to help the military meet its goals for finding new members by making it easier to reach potential recruits.
