Request for Information for 2026 Department of Defense (DoD) 
State Policy Priorities Impacting Service Members and Their Families

AGENCY: Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community 
and Family Policy, DoD.

ACTION: Request for information.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This request for information provides an opportunity for the 
public to submit issues that have an impact on Service members and 
their families where state governments are the primary agents for 
making positive change. Each year, DoD selects State Policy Priorities 
for states to consider that represent barriers resulting from the 
transience and uncertainty of military life, and the public submissions 
will be considered by DoD in setting those priorities. For example, DoD 
has asked states to consider remedies to improve school transitions for 
children in active duty military families to overcome problems with 
records transfer, class and course placement, qualifying for extra-
curricular activities, and fulfilling graduation requirements.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all submissions received by April 
25, 2024.

ADDRESSES: You may submit information in response to this request, 
identified by docket number and title, by any of the following methods:
    Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.

Secretary of Defense for Privacy, Civil Liberties, and Transparency,

    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency 
name, docket number and title for this Federal Register document. The

these submissions available for public viewing on the internet at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Current DoD State Policy Priorities may be 
found at the official Defense-State Liaison Office website: https://statepolicy.militaryonesource.mil.
