To amend title 38, United States Code, to provide additional authorities to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and State Approving Agencies with respect to third-party contractors of educational institutions, and for other purposes.

HR9410 was introduced on June 23, 2026 by Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA) and referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. The bill would amend title 38, United States Code, to provide additional authorities to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and State Approving Agencies with respect to third-party contractors of educational institutions. This is an oversight and consumer-protection measure targeting for-profit schools that enroll veterans using VA education benefits. The bill does not authorize or appropriate any funding — it gives the VA administrative authority to impose new compliance requirements on institutions that contract with third-party recruiters or service providers. Since the bill is in committee with no further action, and is sponsored by a junior member, passage odds are low in this Congress. The only potentially affected public companies are for-profit education operators with veteran enrollment, but none of the major publicly traded US for-profit education companies have significant veteran-benefit exposure. Pure-play veteran education contractors are private firms or small non-traded entities. There is no convergence with other signals, federal procurement, or presidential actions in the provided data. The legislative path requires committee approval, House floor vote, Senate passage, and presidential action — all unlikely before end of 2026 given the bill's low priority.
