What this amendment would do

SA 3003, submitted by Mr. Blumenthal, aims to change H.R. 3944, which handles appropriations for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.

The purpose of this amendment is to limit how funds are used. Specifically, it ensures that no money from title II can be spent to announce or finalize changes to the schedule or ratings of reductions in earning capacity under section 1155 of title 38, United States Code, until certain actions are taken.

The Secretary of Veterans Affairs must first provide proper notification of the specific change to the following:

  • The Senate Committee on Appropriations
  • The Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs
  • The House Committee on Appropriations
  • The House Committee on Veterans' Affairs
