The bill
What it does.
This law gets transitioning veterans into the federal STEM programs that fit the careers they actually pursue after service: engineering, IT, cybersecurity, aviation. It instructs the NSF, NASA, and Department of Energy to actively recruit veterans into their scholarship, fellowship, and outreach programs, and to coordinate with the VA on transition-career pathways.
Doc cosponsored the bill as a Congressman, the prior chapter of his federal record before moving to the Senate in 2021. President Trump signed it into law as Public Law 116-115 on February 11, 2020.
