I havent read the full bill, but as I understand it, it mostly expands the existing National and Community Service Act... including restoring and expanding funding (that was cut in recent years) to support community service and volunteerism.

I think it might have a provision to undertake a "study" on the merits and practicality of mandatory national service...and thats what has some up in arms.
