In plain English
The bill authorizes the Department of Veterans Affairs to approve multi-state apprenticeship programs for VA educational assistance benefits, allowing the VA to serve as a state approving agency for apprenticeships that operate across more than one state. This expands veterans' access to VA education benefits for apprenticeship training by removing the requirement that such programs be approved only by individual states. Sen. Richard Blumenthal [D-CT] introduced the bill with two Republican cosponsors.
