Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 116th
Date Requested May 8, 2019
Requested By House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
Date Sent May 15, 2019
Description:
H.R. 1199 would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to review all of its websites to determine if they comply with requirements in current law that they be accessible to individuals with disabilities. The bill would require VA to report to the Congress on its findings, and describe its plans to bring its websites into compliance. Using information about the cost of similar studies, CBO estimates that the study and report required under the bill would cost less than $500,000 over the 2019-2024 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
