The Driving Veterans Success Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 4171, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of helping veterans transition back into civilian life by providing them with access to resources and support for obtaining a driver's license. The bill recognizes the importance of having a driver's license in order to secure employment, access healthcare services, and participate in other aspects of daily life.
The Driving Veterans Success Act proposes to establish a grant program that would provide funding to states to assist veterans in obtaining a driver's license. This funding would be used to cover the costs associated with obtaining a driver's license, such as fees for driver's education courses, written and practical exams, and any necessary medical evaluations.
In addition to providing financial assistance, the bill also includes provisions for outreach and education programs to inform veterans about the resources available to them for obtaining a driver's license. These programs would be designed to help veterans navigate the process of obtaining a driver's license and connect them with the necessary support services.
Overall, the Driving Veterans Success Act aims to support veterans in their transition to civilian life by removing barriers to obtaining a driver's license and empowering them to fully participate in society. The bill has received bipartisan support in Congress and is currently under consideration for passage.
