VA notice on mortgage application for veterans

If enacted, the bill would require a VA notice on the Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA). The notice must appear below the military service question and say: "If yes, you may qualify for a VA Home Loan. Consult your lender regarding eligibility." The Director would have to issue the rule within 6 months of enactment. The GAO would study adoption and report within 18 months, checking whether at least 80% of lenders using the URLA included the notice.
