    ``(a) Denial of Federal Grants and Contracts.--(1) Federal funds 
may not be made available by contract or by grant (including a grant of 
funds to be available for student aid) to any institution of higher 
education that, as determined by the Secretary of Defense, has an anti-
ROTC policy and at which, as determined by the Secretary, the Secretary 
would otherwise maintain or seek to establish a unit of the Senior 
Reserve Officer Training Corps or at which the Secretary would 
otherwise enroll or seek to enroll students for participation in a unit 
of the Senior Reserve Officer Training Corps at another nearby 
institution of higher education.
    ``(2) In the case of an institution of higher education that is 
ineligible for Federal grants and contracts by reason of paragraph (1), 
the prohibition under that paragraph shall cease to apply to that 
institution upon a determination by the Secretary that the institution 
no longer has an anti-ROTC policy.
    ``(b) Notice of Determination.--Whenever the Secretary makes a 
determination under subsection (a) that an institution has an anti-ROTC 
policy, or that an institution previously determined to have an anti-
ROTC policy no longer has such a policy, the Secretary--
            ``(1) shall transmit notice of that determination to the 
        Secretary of Education and to the Committee on Armed Services 
        of the Senate and the Committee on National Security of the 
        House of Representatives; and
            ``(2) shall publish in the Federal Register notice of that 
        determination and of the effect of that determination under 
        subsection (a)(1) on the eligibility of that institution for 
        Federal grants and contracts.
    ``(c) Semiannual Notice in Federal Register.--The Secretary shall 
publish in the Federal Register once every six months a list of each 
institution of higher education that is currently ineligible for 
Federal grants and contracts by reason of a determination of the 
Secretary under subsection (a).
    ``(d) Anti-ROTC Policy.--In this section, the term `anti-ROTC 
policy' means a policy or practice of an institution of higher 
education that--
            ``(1) prohibits, or in effect prevents, the Secretary of 
        Defense from maintaining or establishing a unit of the Senior 
        Reserve Officer Training Corps at that institution, or
            ``(2) prohibits, or in effect prevents, a student at that 
        institution from enrolling in a unit of the Senior Reserve 
        Officer Training Corps at another institution of higher 
        education.''.
