This bill would reestablish the Professional Certification and Licensure Advisory Committee (PCLAC) of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through December 31, 2019. According to the Department of Labor, the “PCLAC advises the Secretary of Veterans Affairs on credentialing organizations seeking to be recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs in order that veterans can use GI educational benefits to pay the cost of certification tests.” The Committee has been defunct since December 31, 2006.
