To amend title 38, United States Code, to prohibit an educational institution from withholding a transcript from an individual who pursued a course or program of education at such institution using Post-9/11 educational assistance.

The legislation adds a new section to Title 38, Section 3328, which prohibits any educational institution from withholding a transcript from a veteran who completed a course or program using Post‑9/11 educational assistance . The prohibition applies even if the veteran has an outstanding debt to the institution, ensuring that financial obligations do not impede access to academic records. The amendment clarifies that the institution may not use debt status as a reason to deny transcript issuance. This change strengthens veterans’ rights to obtain documentation of their education, which is essential for employment and further study. By codifying this prohibition, the bill provides a clear legal remedy for veterans who face transcript withholding due to unpaid balances.
