July 11, 2025 - 02:47

On July 7, 2025, House Bill 865, originally introduced by Senator Tracy Pennycuick (R-24) and Senator Lindsey Williams (D-38), was officially signed into law as Act 32 of 2025. This significant legislation aims to ensure the ongoing support and resources for military families navigating the education system.

The Military Family Education Program has long been a vital resource for families who face unique challenges due to frequent relocations and deployments. With this new law, lawmakers emphasize their commitment to providing educational stability and accessibility for military children.

The bipartisan effort behind this bill reflects a growing recognition of the sacrifices made by military families and the importance of their children receiving a consistent and quality education. As the implementation of Act 32 begins, advocates are hopeful that it will lead to improved educational outcomes and a stronger support network for those who serve in the armed forces.
