What this bill would do

This bill is titled the TAP Promotion Act and was introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Van Orden. The legislation amends title 10 of the United States Code to update the Transition Assistance Program. It requires the inclusion of a standardized presentation that promotes benefits available to veterans under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. This new presentation must be reviewed and approved by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs alongside veterans service organizations before it is implemented. The presentation must also be submitted to specific congressional committees for review at least 90 days before it starts. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs submit an annual report to the relevant congressional committees regarding these presentations.
