Summary
Restoring Maximum Mobility to Our Nation's Veterans Act of 2017 This bill directs the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to ensure that each wheelchair furnished to a veteran because of a service-connected disability restores the maximum achievable mobility and function in the activities of daily life, employment, and recreation.
