S.3993

Reducing Arbitrary Barriers to Apprenticeship Act of 2026

Introduced·3/4/26

Reducing Arbitrary Barriers to Apprenticeship Act of 2026 aims to amend veterans educational assistance provisions to better support those pursuing.

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