Better Coordination for Service: Military, National Service, and Public Employment.

This Act establishes an Interagency Council on Service to streamline information and opportunities for citizens interested in military service, national service (like Peace Corps or AmeriCorps), and public sector employment. The goal is to improve recruitment efficiency and assist veterans and national service participants in transitioning into civilian government careers. Crucially, the Act mandates these changes without authorizing new federal funding.
