HR 3055 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to develop an action plan within 30 days to help military members eligible for preseparation counseling and veterans transition into supply chain employment. The action plan must identify barriers these individuals face in employment and training, challenges that supply chain employers face in recruiting and retaining them, and regulatory burdens on employers. The plan should highlight the skills military members and veterans possess relevant to supply chain work and recommend specific actions the Departments of Transportation, Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Labor can take to facilitate this transition. The Secretary must also consult with the supply chain industry and related organizations in developing the plan.
