staff at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The bill includes provisions that would:


*
*
*


Establish a database for recruiting and job placement,
Measure and collect information on hiring, and
Establish a fellowship program for management.


In total, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1367 would cost $28 million over the
2017-2022 period, subject to appropriation of the necessary amounts.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1367 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 1367 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.
