HB 2599: interstate compact; military children; revisions
Sponsor: Representative Peña, LD 23
Transmitted to Governor
Overview
Corrects a citation to federal statute in the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for
Military Children (Compact).
History
The Compact, currently participated in by all 50 states and the District of Columbia, is intended to
remove barriers to educational success imposed on children of military families, because of the
frequent moving and deployment of parents, and ensure that military children are afforded the
same opportunities for educational success as other children and are not penalized or delayed in
achieving their educational goals by inflexible administrative practices. States participating in the
Compact work to coordinate graduation requirements, transfer of records, course placement and
other administrative policies (A.R.S. § 15-1911; DoDEA, The Military Interstate Compact).
