AI Summary
This bill requires states, as a condition for receiving federal grants or contracts from the Department of Labor to support disabled veterans' outreach specialists and local veterans' employment representatives, to establish a program that issues licenses or credentials to veterans without requiring additional training or apprenticeships if the veteran scores satisfactorily on a state-administered exam and has at least 10 years of experience in a military occupational specialty (a specific job or role within the military) that the state determines is similar to the civilian occupation for which the license or credential is sought. Additionally, states must submit annual reports to the Secretary of Labor detailing the number of veterans who took these exams and the results, broken down by occupational field, and the Secretary of Labor will then submit a summary of this information to Congress and the Secretary of Defense annually.
