Military and Educational Data Integration Act

# Military and Educational Data Integration Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would allow the Department of Defense (DoD) and educational institutions to share certain student and military personnel data with each other. The legislation aims to create systems where schools and the military can access information about students, potentially to identify recruitment opportunities, track educational progress of military families, or verify credentials. The bill addresses how this data would be collected, stored, and protected as it moves between federal and local educational systems. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects K-12 and higher education institutions, military families, students, and the Department of Defense.

Schools would need to comply with new data-sharing requirements, while military personnel and their dependents could see their information integrated into education databases—and vice versa. **Key Provisions and Current Status** The bill specifically addresses privacy protections and computer security standards for this shared data, recognizing concerns about identity theft and unauthorized access. However, as of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. No action has been taken since its introduction in the 119th Congress.
