The ENLIST Act would amend title 10 of the United States Code to require certain secondary schools to display and provide access to information about military recruiting during school hours. Specifically, it adds a new clause to existing law requiring schools to “display and make accessible to students, during school hours, information regarding military recruiting.” The bill is titled the Engaging Next-generation Leaders in Information about Service and Training Act (ENLIST Act). It was introduced by Rep. Kiggans (VA) and Rep. Panetta and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. In short, the bill formalizes a duty for some secondary schools to ensure that information about military recruiting is visible and accessible to students during the school day. The text provided does not specify which schools are covered, what exact materials count as “information regarding military recruiting,” or any funding or enforcement mechanisms.
