Read twice and referred to the Committee on Armed Services.
The COMPASS Act amends federal law to protect military families who homeschool their children from conflicting state education requirements when they relocate due to military orders. Under this bill, a homeschooled dependent child of a servicemember will be considered in compliance with compulsory education and homeschooling laws in their new state if they meet the requirements of either their new state or their parent's state of legal residence. This addresses a key problem faced by military families, who frequently move for duty assignments and may encounter different homeschooling regulations that create administrative burdens and legal uncertainty. The bill has no specific funding authorization or timeline beyond its introduction in June 2026. By treating homeschooled military children similarly to how federal law already protects military families regarding domicile and legal residence, the legislation aims to reduce disruptions to education and support overall military family readiness during transitions.
