Legislative Agenda
> 
Fix USERRA/SCRA to protect health care coverage of returning service members and family for pre-existing conditions, and guarantee continuation of prior group or individual insurance.
> Encourage federal agencies to abide by USERRA/SCRA standards.
> Ensure USERRA isn't superseded by binding arbitration agreements between employers and Reserve Component members.
> Make the states' employers waive 11th Amendment immunity with respect to USERRA claims, as a condition of receipt of federal assistance.
