How HR 913 changes current law

Compared against current U.S. Code AI-generated reading aid — verify against the official bill.

The bill authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to approve non-degree flight training programs as part of vocational rehabilitation programs for certain veterans with service-connected disabilities.

• 38 U.S.C. § 3104(b)

  To the maximum extent practicable → Except as provided under paragraph (2), to the maximum extent practicable

  This change clarifies that there is an exception to the maximum practicable extent requirement for certain cases.

• 38 U.S.C. § 3104(b)

  (2) Notwithstanding section 3680A(b) of this title, the Secretary may approve a rehabilitation program for a veteran under this chapter that includes the pursuit of a course of flight training other than one given by an educational institution of higher learning for credit toward a standard college degree the veteran is seeking.

  This addition allows the Secretary to approve flight training programs that do not necessarily lead to a degree, expanding options for veterans.
