AI Summary
This bill, the Driver Reimbursement Increase for Veteran Equity Act (DRIVE Act), amends Section 111(g) of Title 38 of the United States Code to increase the mileage rate offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through their Beneficiary Travel program for health-related travel. Specifically, the bill requires the VA to set the mileage rate to be at least a certain amount, and removes a provision that previously allowed the VA to periodically review and adjust the rate.
