Reducing Arbitrary Barriers to Apprenticeship Act of 2026 eliminates educational assistance disadvantages for veterans in apprenticeship programs.

The Reducing Arbitrary Barriers to Apprenticeship Act of 2026 aims to amend title 38 and title 10 of the United States Code to remove provisions that disadvantage veterans who opt for apprenticeship or on-job training programs over a four-year college degree. The bill ensures that the amount of assistance for full-time apprenticeship or on-job training programs does not deter individuals interested in such programs. It also waives the minimum attendance requirement for receipt of assistance for programs of apprenticeship and other on-job training in the construction industry.
