Referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
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 military-connected child who is homeschooled will be considered compliant 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 change addresses the burden military families face when moving between states that have different homeschooling regulations, ensuring educational continuity during the frequent relocations that come with military service. The bill applies to servicemembers with dependent children who are ordered to relocate to a new duty station and does not require any new federal funding. By extending protections under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to cover homeschooling situations, the legislation aims to reduce legal and administrative obstacles while supporting military family stability.
