Current Legislation to Restrict Veterans’ Choice at Career Schools

In Congress, seven bills and one draft piece of legislation are under consideration to restrict choice for veterans using the GI Bill and servicemembers using military education benefits. Lawmakers are advancing these bills under the banner of protecting veterans and servicemembers.

1. The Preventing Risky Operations from Threatening the Education and Career Trajectories of Students Act of 2019 (PROTECT Students Act – Senate Bill) (S. 867)
2. PROTECT Students Act—House Bill (H.R. 3512)
3. POST Act 2019—Senate Bill (S. 1775)
4. POST Act 2019—House Bill (H.R. 3179)
5. Protections and Regulation for Our Students Act (H.R. 3487)
6. For-Profit Fraud Act (H.R. 3112)
7. Defending All Veterans In Education Act (DAVIE Act) (H.R. 3369)
8. A draft bill to change the 90/10 rule

Notice how they make the names of their bills sound like they are helping veterans and students? It’s not true.

These anti-choice bills are insulting to veterans. Student veterans and servicemembers are more than capable of choosing the school that best fits their career goals.
​
Let veterans choose where they use their earned veteran education benefits.
