Vets ETA
HR 9948, the Vets ETA, simplifies a Veterans Affairs transportation rule by removing a redundant requirement. It amends 38 U.S.C. § 111A(a) to eliminate paragraph (2), which previously specified certain administrative details. This change grants the Secretary of Veterans Affairs permanent authority to provide transportation to VA facilities for veterans receiving vocational rehabilitation or counseling services. The bill directly affects veterans using these VA programs and streamlines the process for VA administrators managing transportation services.
