Creates a new Interagency Council on Service to coordinate how the federal government promotes military service, national service (like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps), and public service careers. It directs joint recruiting and advertising across key agencies, adds transition help that links servicemembers and national‑service alumni to public‑service jobs, and sets up recurring studies and reports to improve what works.
The plan uses existing funds, not new money. It requires a national Service Strategy within two years and every four years after, a 270‑day study on recruitment and retention (including the impact of past ad campaigns and vaccine requirements), and a Government Accountability Office review within 30 months.
Amends subsection (b) of 42 U.S.C. 12651d by (1) modifying punctuation in paragraphs (24) and (25) and (2) adding a new paragraph (26) requiring the Chief Executive Officer to ensure that individuals completing service in specified Domestic Volunteer Service Act programs receive information about military and public service opportunities.
Provides that 10 U.S.C. 503 shall not be construed to prohibit sharing of information among, or joint marketing efforts of, the Department of Defense, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and the Peace Corps to carry out this section.
Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, and Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
