1 H.R. 5487, Veterans Cemetery Grants Improvement Act, as Ordered Reported by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs on July 30, 2020 1 (September 1, 2020)

handle is hein.congrec/cbovetcm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Congressional Budget Office W Cost Estimate September 1, 2020 By Fiscal Year, Millions of Dollars 2020 2020-2025 2020-2030 Direct Spending (Outlays) 0 0 0 Revenues Increase or Decrease (-) in the Deficit 0 0 0 0 0 0 Under current law, the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) awards grants to state, tribal, and territorial governments to establish or expand veterans' cemeteries. VA also awards grants totaling up to $5 million annually for cemetery operations and maintenance projects such as improving the height and alignment of headstones, leveling gravesites, or improving turf conditions. H.R. 5487 would increase the maximum amount of cemetery grants for operations and maintenance to $10 million. Over the past five years, VA has provided an average of about $600,000 per year in grants for operation and maintenance projects, far less than the $5 million limit in current law. Thus, CBO does not expect increasing that limitation to $10 million would increase grant funding for those projects. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Logan Smith. The estimate was reviewed by Leo Lex, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
