Legislation designed to guarantee approval of veterans benefits without delay at certain commercial driving schools was recently introduced in the U.S. Senate.
Sens. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) and Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) sponsored the bill with the aim of facilitating access to nearby commercial driver license (CDL) schools for veterans around the country.
“Veterans have already given so much for our country — the last thing they need is more frustrating red tape that prevents them from pursuing a career that is essential to our modern economy,” Fischer said Sept. 12. She is the ranking member on the Surface Transportation, Maritime, Freight and Ports Subcommittee.
