## Summary

**Educational continuity for military-connected homeschoolers**. This bill would add Section 708 to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to treat a homeschooled dependent as meeting a State's compulsory education and homeschooling rules after a permanent change of station if the child was in compliance under either the new State or the servicemember's State of legal residence. - Families: Military families who homeschool would face fewer interruptions and fewer risks of penalties when orders move them across State lines. - Servicemembers: The bill would reduce administrative and legal burdens tied to relocations, supporting family stability and servicemember readiness. - State education authorities: It creates a safe-harbor recognition rule so a child's homeschool compliance is accepted based on the location State or the servicemember's State of legal residence, lowering conflicts between differing State rules. It also adds a table-of-contents entry and defines related terms by reference to existing law.
