Veteran Improvement Commercial Driver License Act was signed into law. The legislation, which passed the Senate in November 2023 and the House last week, expands veterans’ training opportunities in the trucking industry. Current laws prevent new trucking school locations from accepting GI Bill benefits for two years after opening, including new locations opened by schools that are already established. Senator Fischer’s legislation allows new facilities to accept GI Bill benefits if their primary institutions have already received regulatory approval. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:55:29Z |
