     Grow  Our  Own   Directive: Physician  Assistant Employment and
                           Education  Act of 2016

                               on May 18, 2016


SUMMARY

H.R. 3974 would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to carry out a five-year
pilot program that would provide educational assistance to veterans training to be
physician assistants (PAs) for the department. CBO estimates that implementing the bill
would cost $36 million over the 2017-2021 period, subject to appropriation of the
necessary amounts.

Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply because enacting the legislation would not affect
direct spending or revenues. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3974 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027.

H.R. 3974 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)  and would impose no costs on state, local, or
tribal governments.
