CHAPTER 31--TRAINING AND REHABILITATION FOR VETERANS WITH SERVICE-
CONNECTED DISABILITIES
Sec. 3111. Regulations to promote satisfactory conduct and
cooperation
The Secretary shall prescribe such rules and regulations as the
Secretary determines necessary to promote satisfactory conduct and
cooperation on the part of veterans who are pursuing rehabilitation
programs under this chapter. In any case in which the Secretary
determines that a veteran has failed to maintain satisfactory conduct or
cooperation, the Secretary may, after determining that all reasonable
counseling efforts have been made and are not reasonably likely to be
effective, discontinue services and assistance unless the Secretary
determines that mitigating circumstances exist. In any case in which
such services and assistance have been discontinued, the Secretary may
reinstitute such services and assistance only if the Secretary
determines that--
(1) the cause of the unsatisfactory conduct or cooperation of
such veteran has been removed; and
(2) the rehabilitation program which such veteran proposes to
pursue (whether the same or revised) is suitable to such veteran's
abilities, aptitudes, and interests.
