Bill > S1267

This bill amends title 38 of the United States Code to expand the existing automobile assistance program for veterans with disabilities by explicitly authorizing the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to cover not just the purchase price of an adapted automobile, but also the total shipping or delivery costs associated with getting the vehicle to the eligible veteran. Currently, veterans with certain service-connected disabilities are eligible for assistance in purchasing vehicles modified for their specific mobility needs, and this legislation would remove any potential ambiguity about whether delivery expenses are also covered, ensuring that veterans can receive fully subsidized adapted vehicles with all associated transportation costs included. The bill is relatively straightforward, making a narrow but meaningful change to simplify and improve automobile assistance benefits for disabled veterans by clarifying that delivery expenses are an allowable cost under the existing program.
