Summary

Prevents colleges from withholding a veteran's transcript solely because the veteran used Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits and owes the school money. The bill would add section 3328 to Title 38 and apply to beneficiaries of Chapter 33, barring transcript holds that are based only on an outstanding debt to the institution.
