ROC Act
This bill requires public high schools receiving federal education funds to grant military recruiters the same campus access as other employers or colleges, specifically for students aged 17 and older. It mandates that schools provide this access without discrimination, aligning military recruitment opportunities with those offered to civilian recruiters. The Secretary of Defense must annually collect compliance data and report violations to the Secretary of Education, identifying schools that fail to meet these requirements. The law takes effect one year after enactment, directly affecting thousands of secondary schools nationwide.
