Premium   Download PDF Now (7 pages)
Congress 114th
Date Requested July 15, 2015
Requested By House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
Date Sent July 20, 2015
Description:

H.R. 1994 would limit the amount of awards and bonuses paid to employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and would modify several of the department’s personnel policies. In addition, the bill would prescribe a comprehensive process for handling complaints by whistleblowers. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1994 would, on net, decrease costs by $145 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. 1994 would not affect revenues.

H.R. 1994 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
