Bill > HR3219

This bill aims to expand eligibility for a military adaptive sports program by removing the current time restriction that limits veterans to participating only within one year of their military separation. Specifically, the bill modifies section 2564a of title 10 of the United States Code by striking the phrase "during the one-year period following the veteran's date of separation" from the existing language. This change would allow veterans to participate in adaptive sports programs beyond the current one-year post-separation timeframe, potentially providing more opportunities for veterans to engage in rehabilitative and recreational activities that support their physical and mental well-being after military service. The bill is officially known as the Gaining Meaningful Experiences from Service Act (GAMES Act), and its primary purpose is to increase access to adaptive sports programs for veterans, recognizing that recovery, rehabilitation, and personal development can continue well beyond the first year after leaving military service.
