Akaka Wants to Expand GI Bill Protections

By /
Sen. Daniel Akaka is among a group of senators introducing a bill to curb “aggressive recruiting and misleading marketing” aimed at service members and veterans. The bill would also seek to improve access to information about educational opportunities under the GI Bill. 

He’s set to announce details about the GI Bill Consumer Awareness Act in a press conference on Tuesday, according to a spokesman for Akaka. Other lawmakers involved include Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska.
