AI Summary
This bill, the Driver Reimbursement Increase for Veteran Equity Act of 2023 (DRIVE Act of 2023), aims to amend 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 Secretary to ensure that the mileage rate is equal to or greater than the mileage reimbursement rate for the use of privately owned vehicles by government employees on official business, as prescribed by the Administrator of General Services. This change provides greater reimbursement for veterans who use their own vehicles to travel for VA-related healthcare.
