S. 3052 – A bill to promote recruiter access to secondary schools.

AI-Generated Summary

Updated November 23, 2025 at 8:02 PM UTC

This bill changes federal law to give U.S. military recruiters the same level of access to high schools as other employers or college recruiters, provided they are targeting students who are 17 or older. It also requires schools to hold at least four military recruiting events each year and to supply recruiters with basic contact information for eligible students shortly after the school year begins or when requested.

Key Provisions

Military recruiters would get the same campus access that any other employer or college recruiter has, but only for students who are at least 17 years old.
Schools would have to arrange at least four in‑person military recruiting events each school year, spread across different grading periods, if the recruiters request them.
Within 60 days of the school year starting (and within 30 days of any later recruiter request), schools must give recruiters the names, grades, addresses, email addresses (if the school has them), and phone numbers of eligible students, even if state education laws would otherwise limit that sharing.
