Mr. Takano, from the Committee on Veterans' Affairs,
submitted the following
SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
[To accompany H.R. 1947]
CORRECTION--HOUSE REPORT, SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS OF THE
LEGISLATION
Pursuant to clause 3(a)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the
House of the Representatives for the 116th Congress, the
Committee on Veterans' Affairs is filing this supplemental
report to correct an error in the report to accompany H.R.
1947, to amend title 38, United States Code, to exempt
transfers of funds from Federal agencies to the Department of
Veterans Affairs for nonprofit corporations established under
subchapter IV of chapter 73 of such title from certain
provisions of the Economy Act (H. Rept. 116-76).
Section 2. Improvements to Assistance for Certain Flight
Training and Other Programs of Education.
Section 2(a) would amend section 3034(d) of
title 38, U.S.C. to remove the prohibition on the use
the of G.I. Bill funds to pay for training that leads
to a private pilot's license.
Section 2(b) would amend section 3313 by
adding a new subsection (l).
The new 3313(l)(1) would authorize that
participants using educational assistance through
chapter 33 of title 38, U.S.C. for flight training at
an institute of higher learning or vocational school
may elect to receive accelerated tuition and fee
payments that would be equal to double the amount
authorized by section 3313(c) or the cap on tuition and
fees at a non-public institution of higher learning.
This payment would not be allowed to exceed the total
cost of tuition and fees for the flight training
program. This subsection would also clarify that living
stipend payments would not be accelerated by this
change. The new section 3313(l)(2) would require that
before a participant makes an election to accelerate
training through this section they would have to
receive educational counseling under section 3697A(a)
of title 38, U.S.C. The new section 3313(l)(3) would
authorize that the charge against the participant's
entitlement to educational assistance will be charged
at a cost of two months for each month the accelerated
payment is made.
Section 2(c) would amend section
3313(c)(1)(A) of title 38, U.S.C., to subject flight
training at public schools to the cap on tuition and
fees established by 3313(c)(1)(A)(ii) of title 38,
U.S.C. Under this provision, students would not be
allowed to take flight training courses unless the
training is specifically required to obtain their
degree.
Section 2(d) would amend section
3313(c)(1)(A)(ii)(II) of title 38, U.S.C., as added by
the previous section to subject any program of
education pursued at a public institution of higher
learning in which the school enters into a contract or
agreement with another entity to provide the program of
education, or a portion of the program, to the cap
established by 3313(c)(1)(A)(ii)(II) of title 38,
U.S.C.
Section 2(e) would require that the changes
that would be made by this section apply to any
quarter, semester, or term commencing on or after
enactment of the bill and that the new rules would not
go into effect for current students that would be
impacted by this section for two additional years
following enactment.
