The bill tells the National Guard to study a new idea. They would work with a service program to link Guard members with jobs and training.

Who it affects
Military service members and their families could get job training. Schools and groups could get computer safety classes. The bill does not set aside money or say who must join.
One thing to notice
The study will look at changing service program rules to fit military schedules. This could change how service programs work.
