Senate Bill 1843 amends the Education Code to require each public school district and open‑enrollment charter school each school year to provide students in grades 10 through 12 an opportunity to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test and consult with a military recruiter. A district or charter school may elect to not provide the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test only if the district or school provides an alternative test that, among other conditions, assesses a student's aptitude for success in a career field other than a career field that requires postsecondary education and provides the student with a professional interpretation of the test results that allows the student to explore occupations that are consistent with the student's interests and skills and to develop strategies to attain the student's career goals.
