handle is hein.congrec/cbo3373 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE March 10, 2017 H.R. 1259 VA Accountability First Act of 2017 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs on March 8, 2017 SUMMARY H.R. 1259 would modify administrative procedures of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) affecting disciplinary actions for employees. Additionally, H.R. 1259 would give VA the authority to recoup all or part of bonuses and awards paid to employees and grant the authority to recoup amounts spent to relocate VA employees if the department determines the recoupment is appropriate. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1259 would increase costs by $2 million over the 2017-2022 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting the bill would affect direct spending over the 2017-2027 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates those effects would not be significant. H.R. 1259 would not affect revenues. CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in one or more of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028. H.R. 1259 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. ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 1259 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 700 (veterans benefits and services).
