Veterans Apprenticeship and Labor Opportunity Reform Act or the VALOR Act

(Sec. 3) The bill eliminates the requirement that the veteran or other eligible person enrolled in an apprenticeship or other on-job training program must certify such person's program attendance to receive a training assistance allowance.
