Based on analysis of 2 sections of legislative text.
Deletes a subsection of 38 U.S.C. §3695, removes a prior limitation, and renumbers the following subsection.
Makes a narrow change to federal veterans law by deleting one subsection of 38 U.S.C. §3695 and renumbering the next subsection to take its place. The change removes an existing statutory limitation that had been located in the deleted subsection and shifts the remaining text into the renumbered subsection, which may alter how benefits or eligibility rules under that provision are applied. The text is a technical amendment to the U.S. Code rather than a new program or funding measure; its practical effect depends on the content of the deleted subsection and how the Department of Veterans Affairs interprets and implements the renumbered provision.
Official title: Amend title 38, United States Code, to repeal a certain limitation on the receipt of assistance under both the Veteran Readiness and Employment program and the educational assistance programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
