H.R. 2772 would bar a member of the Senior Executive Service (SES) employed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from being reassigned within the agency without written approval by the Secretary of VA. H.R. 2772 also would require VA to submit semi-annual reports to the Congress on reassigned SES employees.
CBO expects that changing the requirements for reassigning SES employees would have no budgetary effect. On the basis of information from VA regarding reports of a similar nature, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2772 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2017-2022 period, subject to the availability of appropriations.
Enacting H.R. 2772 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
