Bill > HR3055

This bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to develop a comprehensive "Veteran to Supply Chain Employee Action Plan" within 30 days of enactment, aimed at helping military service members and veterans transition into supply chain employment. The plan requires identifying barriers and challenges faced by both veterans seeking supply chain jobs and employers recruiting them, including exploring regulatory obstacles, workforce needs in different U.S. regions, and industry trends that might discourage veterans from entering these careers. The Secretary must also highlight the unique skills veterans possess that are valuable in supply chain roles, recommend short and long-term actions across multiple federal departments to facilitate veterans' employment, and propose ways to improve employer outreach, training, mentorship, and advancement programs. The bill specifically defines a "supply chain employee" as an individual directly involved in facilitating the movement of goods and requires consultation with transportation supply chain industry representatives. By creating this action plan, the bill seeks to bridge the employment gap for transitioning service members and address workforce needs in the transportation and logistics sectors.
