COMPASS Act

This bill would change the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to address homeschooling for military families who move. When a servicemember's dependent child is homeschooled and covered by military orders for a permanent change of station, the child would be treated as meeting the new state's compulsory education and homeschooling laws. This would apply if the child follows the homeschooling laws of either the new state or the state of the servicemember's legal residence. The bill uses the federal veterans' law definition of 'child.'
