HR 7472 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
The bill removes a federal restriction that currently prevents veterans from receiving benefits under both the Department of Veterans Affairs Veteran Readiness and Employment program and VA educational assistance programs at the same time. By repealing subsection (b) of section 3695 of title 38, United States Code, the bill would allow eligible veterans to access both types of assistance concurrently.
