Military legislation in Alabama
None of the bills I've been tracking so far this session have moved in the last few days.
HB438 and SB371 would create an interstate compact making it easier for kids to transfer schools for military moves. The bill didn't make it through last year's session and since then about a dozen other states have joined the compact, making it binding in those states and those that join. The bill is supported by the Department of Defense.
HB177 would expand the education benefit for dependents of deceased or disabled veterans.
HB612 would pay unemployment compensation to military spouses who have had to leave their jobs for a military move. That bill hasn't made much progress at all, but it is supported by some area veterans and Military Officers Association of America, MOAA, is keeping an eye on it too. About half of the states already offer some sort of unemployment compensation to military spouses.
