SERVICEMEMBERS-SERVE ACT

Summary

The SERVE Act obligates Illinois colleges and universities to accommodate students who leave for military service, giving them academic leave and guaranteeing readmission if their total leave does not exceed five years. Students must give advance notice of deployment and notify the school when they plan to return, and schools cannot impose extra conditions beyond the Act. The law also creates reporting, anti‑discrimination protections, and enforcement authority for the Attorney General.
