HB 1019 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to the interstate compact on educational opportunity for military children.

This bill implements the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children, which facilitates school transfers and enrollment for families of active-duty military personnel moving between states. It clarifies that "active duty" includes members of the National Guard and Reserve serving under specific federal orders, ensuring these families are covered under the agreement. By adopting this compact, the state creates a legal framework to help military children maintain educational continuity when their parents relocate due to military assignments. The law takes effect 60 days after passage to allow time for implementation by relevant school districts and agencies.
