S. 649

Senate

American Security Drone Act of 2025

Sponsor: Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL)

Stalled

No recorded action in more than nine months. Bills that see no further action expire at the end of the two-year Congress.

In brief

This bill expands Post-9/11 GI Bill eligibility to include time served by National Guard and Reserve members during inactive-duty training, annual training, and full-time National Guard duty. Under current law, only federal active duty typically counts toward these educational benefits; this change allows various types of non-federal service to count toward the accrual of tuition assistance. The legislation affects current and future members of the reserve components and the National Guard across the United States. Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) introduced the bill, which is currently pending in the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
