What this amendment would do

SA 6611, submitted by Mr. Cruz, aims to add a new section to the law regarding the treatment of homeschooled children of armed forces members under state law.

  • The amendment would add Section 1790a to title 10 of the United States Code.
  • It proposes that a dependent child of an armed forces member who is educated at home and moving to a new state under military orders for a permanent change of station be considered in compliance with that state's compulsory education and homeschooling laws.
  • This compliance is met if the child follows the laws of the new state or the laws of the state where the member legally resides.
