Bill overview
The Hire Veterans Act establishes a pilot program to help connect veterans with jobs at Federal land management agencies, such as the Forest Service and the National Park Service. The program will identify veterans with relevant skills and refer them to suitable positions. It also directs the Office of Personnel Management to develop guidance on assessing veterans’ strengths and abilities for these roles, potentially waiving educational requirements where appropriate. Finally, it requires regular reporting on the program’s effectiveness to Congress.
