1 H.R. 5215, Veterans Affairs Purchase Card Misuse Mitigation Act [1] (May 9, 2018)

handle is hein.congrec/cbomaydj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE a COST ESTIMATE May 9, 2018 H.R. 5215 Veterans Affairs Purchase Card Misuse Mitigation Act As ordered reported by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs on May 8, 2018 H.R. 5215 would prohibit any employee of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) who is found to have knowingly misused a purchase card from serving as a purchase card holder or approving official. The bill would define actions considered to be misuse of a purchase card. Purchase cards are VA-issued charge cards used to procure authorized supplies and services for the agency. Existing VA policies limit purchase card access for employees found to have knowingly misused such cards. VA's Inspector General also monitors and reports on purchase card misuse. In addition, other federal policies and practices are designed to prevent purchase card misuse. Because of those ongoing activities, CBO estimates the bill would have no budgetary effect. Enacting H.R. 5215 would not affect direct spending or revenues, therefore, pay-as-you- go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5215 would not increase net direct spending or on- budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029. H.R. 5215 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Logan Smith. The estimate was reviewed by Leo Lex, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
