AI Summary
This bill, the TAP Promotion Act, amends the United States Code to authorize representatives of veterans service organizations to participate in presentations during the preseparation counseling phase of the Department of Defense's Transition Assistance Program (TAP). The presentations must be standardized, reviewed and approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and submitted for congressional review before implementation. The presentations are required to include information on how veterans service organizations can assist members in filing claims, but cannot encourage members to join a particular organization or exceed one hour in duration. The bill also requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to submit an annual report identifying the participating veterans service organizations, the number of attendees, and any recommendations for changes to the presentations or the law.
