Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit Department of Defense contracts with certain foreign-owned online tutoring services.
AI Summary
This bill expands restrictions on online tutoring services for the Department of Defense (DoD) by prohibiting contracts with tutoring services owned by certain foreign countries, specifically expanding the original prohibition beyond China to include Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The bill, known as the TUTOR Act of 2025, amends an existing section of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 by replacing the specific reference to the "People's Republic of China" with a broader term "country of concern" and then explicitly defining those countries as China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. By doing so, the legislation aims to prevent the DoD from entering into contracts with online tutoring services that are owned or controlled by entities from these nations, which are considered strategic adversaries of the United States. The bill appears to be motivated by national security concerns, seeking to protect sensitive information and prevent potential foreign interference or data collection through educational service contracts.
