Premium   Download PDF Now (6 pages)
Congress 114th
Date Requested May 21, 2015
Requested By House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
Date Sent July 15, 2015
Description:

H.R. 571 would limit the amount of awards and bonuses paid to employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and would modify the department’s personnel policies for employees in the Senior Executive Service (SES). In addition, the bill would prescribe a comprehensive process for handling complaints by whistleblowers. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 571 would, on net, decrease costs by $36 million over the 2016-2020 period, assuming appropriation levels are reduced by those amounts.

Enacting the bill would have an insignificant effect on direct spending over the 2016-2025 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting H.R. 571 would not affect revenues.

H.R. 571 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
