This bill aims to improve military recruitment by giving armed forces recruiters greater access to potential recruits at schools and colleges. High schools must now provide military recruiters with access to career fairs and similar events within 60 days of a request, and colleges must share student contact information and lists of students who have left the institution within 60 days. The bill also requires the Secretary of Defense to submit an annual report to Congress detailing any instances where schools deny recruiters access. Additionally, the legislation directs the Pentagon to study the Army's Future Soldier Preparatory Course pilot program within 45 days and assess whether it should be expanded to other military branches or additional locations. The bill has no specific funding authorization mentioned in the legislative text, and it was introduced in June 2023 by senators from both parties.
