This bill would stop the Department of Defense from making contracts with online tutoring services that are owned by companies from certain foreign countries. It widens a current rule so it’s not just about China anymore. Instead, it covers “countries of concern,” which are China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

Key points:

• Who is affected: The Department of Defense and online tutoring companies tied to China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea. Military families and students who use DoD-supported tutoring could be indirectly affected.
• What changes: Expands an existing ban so DoD can’t contract with foreign-owned online tutoring services from any of these four countries, not just China.
