Bill Summary
Public high schools, required to designate time and space for military recruiters to administer the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery to students on campus on a voluntary basis
AI Summary
This bill mandates that all city and county public high schools in Alabama must set aside one school day during the fall semester for military recruiters to administer the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB, to students on campus, with the testing being voluntary for students and the school providing necessary accommodations. The ASVAB is a test used by the military to assess a student's aptitudes and potential for various military careers. This provision is in addition to existing requirements that grant military recruiters the same access to students and campus facilities as other prospective employers or postsecondary institutions. The bill is set to become effective on October 1, 2026.
