What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "VA Care and Benefits Accountability Act," aims to affirm existing labor agreements at the Department of Veterans Affairs. It ensures that any collective bargaining agreement in effect on March 26, 2025, remains fully active through its intended term. Additionally, the bill seeks to nullify specific Executive Orders regarding exclusions from Federal labor-management relations programs. It further prohibits the use of Federal funds to carry out these Executive Orders in relation to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
