The Jobs for Our Heroes Act, also known as Bill 115 s 1393, is a piece of legislation introduced in the United States Congress. The main goal of this bill is to provide employment opportunities for veterans and members of the National Guard and Reserves.

The Jobs for Our Heroes Act aims to streamline the process for veterans to obtain commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) by allowing them to use their military experience in lieu of certain CDL requirements. This would make it easier for veterans to transition into civilian jobs that require a CDL, such as truck driving.

It also seeks to improve coordination between federal agencies and state workforce agencies to better connect veterans with job opportunities. Overall, the Jobs for Our Heroes Act is designed to support veterans and members of the National Guard and Reserves in finding meaningful employment after their military service.
