The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6745, aims to enhance support for families of armed forces members who have received orders for service in the state. The bill introduces several measures to facilitate this support, including the enactment of occupational licensure interstate compacts to help spouses find work more easily, increasing flexibility through access to district open enrollment policies for education, and streamlining processes for children needing special education services.
The bill seeks to amend current statutes to implement these supportive measures, thereby reducing the burdens faced by military families during relocations due to service orders. The focus is on ensuring that military families can access necessary resources and services efficiently, thereby improving their overall quality of life during transitions.
