What the document says

“This Act may be cited as the "Focused Assistance and Skills Training for Veterans' Employment and Transition Success Act" or the "FAST VETS Act".”

To amend title 38, United States Code, to modify the conditions under which the Secretary of Veterans Affairs is required to redevelop the individualized vocational rehabilitation plan for a veteran, and for other purposes, Sec. 1

The whole of section 1. It fixes the long name the Act is cited by, gives the short form FAST VETS Act alongside it, and does nothing further.

What this is about

Most laws start this way. A name makes the law easy to point to. The name does not tell you what the law does.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
