Senate Pro Tem Bingman Statement on Passage of Post-Military Jobs
Bill
Senate Pro Tem Brian Bingman released the following statement
Wednesday after the Senate gave unanimous approval to Senate Bill
1863 creating the Post-Military Service Occupation, Education and
Credentialing Act.
“I am proud to support a common-sense bill that helps our
veterans and our economy,” said Bingman, R-Sapulpa. “Nobody
knows how to train and equip people for success like the United
States armed forces, and we want to make it easier for businesses
to hire veterans with skill specific backgrounds. Any employer would
be thrilled to have a veteran on their team—it’s simply
a no-brainer when you ask our job creators about the value of hiring
folks that learned their craft in the real-world scenarios of the
United States armed forces. And I know our colleges and career techs
want to do all they can to help veterans succeed in the classroom,
too. Helping those that have served our country transition into
civilian life is the easiest vote I’ll ever cast.”
