A manager’s amendment filed ahead of this week’s scheduled floor consideration of a sweeping package of veterans legislation would tweak some key language in the bill, but leave untouched the most controversial part of the measure.
House Veterans’ Affairs Committee Chairman Mike Bost, R-Ill., filed an amendment last week with the House Rules Committee for his bill that would adjust the marquee provision, in addition to making numerous technical changes throughout the legislation. Senate Veterans’ Affairs Chairman Jerry Moran, R-Kan., jointly introduced the measure with Bost on June 10 and released his chamber’s version at the same time.
