On Wednesday, May 21, Rep. Mark Takano took to the floor of the House of Representatives to offer two amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act.
The Work for Warriors Act (H.R. 4364), introduced with Rep. Paul Cook (R-CA), will create a pilot program to explore the replication and expansion of California's WFW model nationwide. These direct employment pilot programs would enhance the efforts of the Department of Defense to provide employment services to members of the Guard and Reserve.
The second amendment would require the Secretary of Defense to report to Congress, no later than 30 days after enactment of this law, on the barriers to implementing audit reporting requirements and recommendations to ensure reporting deadlines are met.
