An Act to enhance access, inclusion, support and equity for military connected families

This bill (HD 2140) strengthens support for military-connected families in Massachusetts by making specific policy changes. It requires police to check for military protective orders when arresting service members, ensures schools transfer educational records for military students within 30 days, and allows military-connected students to enroll in any school district regardless of capacity if a parent is on active duty. School districts must prove their educational decisions in disputes involving military students, and military parents can get reimbursed for hearing fees. These changes directly affect military families navigating education, legal systems, and relocation within Massachusetts.
