Bill > S1120

This bill establishes an Interagency Council on Service composed of high-ranking federal officials from various agencies to promote and strengthen opportunities for military, national, and public service across the United States. The Council will meet quarterly and have responsibilities including advising the President on service strategies, developing recruitment initiatives, coordinating cross-agency service efforts, and preparing a quadrennial Service Strategy report to the President and Congress. The bill also authorizes joint market research between the Department of Defense, Corporation for National and Community Service, and Peace Corps to improve service recruitment, and creates new provisions to help military servicemembers and national service participants transition between different types of service. Additionally, the bill requires periodic reporting to Congress on service integration efforts, includes a study on advertising campaign effectiveness and vaccine requirements' impact on service recruitment, and provides comprehensive definitions for terms like "military service," "national service," and "public service." Notably, the bill specifies that no additional funds will be authorized for its implementation, and mandates a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report to assess the Act's effectiveness within two and a half years of enactment.
