What this bill does
H.R. 1573, the Military and Educational Data Integration Act, would direct the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of Homeland Security, working with the Secretary of Education, state and local educational agencies, and privacy experts, to create a process—within 18 months of enactment—allowing state educational agencies to receive certain data about former students who joined, or applied but were denied entry into, the Armed Forces. States could then incorporate this data into their statewide longitudinal data systems or an alternate state data system.
The information covered includes education level attained, schools attended, Armed Forces Qualification Test scores, and, for those who served, details such as branch of service, enlistment and separation dates, rank, and military specialty. The bill affects state and local education agencies, which would gain access to this data, and members or applicants of the Armed Forces, whose information would be shared. The bill requires that data be transmitted confidentially using current security standards and that both the federal agencies and state agencies maintain reasonable data security practices consistent with applicable privacy laws.
The bill was introduced on February 25, 2025, by Rep. Susie Lee with bipartisan cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. It has not yet been voted on, and no further action has been recorded.
