Collins publicly backed legislation matching the promise by making military training count toward apprenticeship credit.

GovInfo lists S. 1352 as introduced by Sen. Cantwell 'for herself, Ms. Collins, and Ms. Klobuchar,' showing Collins remained a sponsor of legislation that would establish a tax credit for on-site apprenticeship programs.

Collins continued to advance apprenticeship legislation during the same Senate term, though this bill alone does not prove enactment of the military-training credit.

The codified law enacted by Public Law 116-134 requires registered apprenticeship program standards to provide, to the extent practicable, 'advanced standing or credit' for a veteran who has 'acquired experience, training, or skills through military service' that is applicable to the apprenticeship occupation.

Federal law was ultimately enacted in Collins's Senate term to require apprenticeship programs to credit applicable military training and skills, which fulfills the core promise.
