AI Summary
This bill, the Counting Overlooked Base Impact Aid Act (COBIA Act), requires that commanders of military installations verify the reporting of eligible federally connected children for the purposes of Federal impact aid programs. Specifically, the bill mandates that each commander submit an annual written certification confirming whether they have verified the information contained in all impact aid source check forms received from local educational agencies. The Secretary of each military department must then submit a report to the congressional defense committees identifying which military installations have confirmed the information and which have not. This measure aims to ensure accurate reporting of eligible students to support the Federal impact aid program, which provides funding to local school districts with a high proportion of children from military families.
