Requires VA to create a new office to speed up how it shares information with Congress.
This bill would make the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) create a new office to handle its communications with Congress. This office would have strict rules and deadlines for responding to requests from lawmakers. The goal is to ensure Congress gets timely and accurate information from the VA.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs manages its congressional communications without a dedicated, statutorily defined office. This bill would create a new Office of Congressional and Legislative Affairs within the VA, setting clear rules and strict deadlines for how the VA provides information to Congress. It would also increase the total number of Deputy Assistant Secretaries in the VA from 19 to 21.
