The bill changes the law governing Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) programs so that homeschooled students can join JROTC units at public secondary schools. It lets schools accept qualified homeschooled youth who live in the school's area, even though they aren't enrolled in the school. Those students would also count toward the minimum number of members a unit needs to stay active.

Key Provisions

  • Public secondary schools with JROTC units must allow qualified homeschooled students living in the school’s area to become members.
  • Homeschooled members are counted toward the unit’s required minimum student membership for maintaining the program.
