Bill Analysis
Bill Summary: HR 3981 - Isakson-Roe Education Oversight Expansion Act
The Isakson-Roe Education Oversight Expansion Act (HR 3981) aims to enhance the oversight and accountability of educational programs for veterans and service members. This legislation builds upon existing frameworks to ensure that veterans receive quality education and training through various programs.
Key Provisions:
Expanded Oversight: The bill mandates the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to strengthen its oversight of educational institutions that receive GI Bill funding. It requires the VA to develop more robust metrics for assessing the quality of education provided to veterans, including graduation rates, employment outcomes, and student satisfaction.
Reporting Requirements: Educational institutions will be required to submit detailed reports on their performance metrics, which will be made publicly available. This transparency is designed to empower veterans in making informed decisions about their educational choices.
Support for Non-Traditional Education: The bill also emphasizes support for non-traditional education pathways, including apprenticeships and on-the-job training programs, recognizing the diverse needs of veterans seeking education.
Funding and Authorities: While specific funding allocations are not detailed in the bill, it empowers the VA to utilize existing resources to implement the expanded oversight measures. The bill does not create new funding streams but emphasizes efficient use of current funds.
Agencies Affected: The primary agency impacted by this legislation is the Department of Veterans Affairs, which will be tasked with implementing the new oversight measures and reporting requirements.
Beneficiaries: Veterans, service members, and their families will benefit from enhanced educational oversight, leading to improved educational outcomes and better-informed choices regarding their education.
Key Timelines: The bill was introduced in the House and has been received in the Senate, where it has been read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs for further consideration. The timeline for further action will depend on the committee’s schedule and subsequent legislative processes.
