Bill > HR932

This bill aims to modify employment policies at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) by repealing separate disciplinary processes that previously existed for certain VA employees. Specifically, the bill eliminates special removal, demotion, and suspension procedures that were established by the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017, effectively returning VA employees to the standard federal government employment standards. The bill reinstates previous disciplinary and grievance procedures for Veterans Health Administration personnel that existed before the 2017 law, essentially reverting to earlier employment protections. Key changes include removing specific sections of Title 38 and Title 5 of the United States Code that created unique disciplinary processes for VA employees, while maintaining whistleblower protections. By doing so, the bill ensures that VA employees will now be subject to the same employment regulations and disciplinary processes as other federal government employees, standardizing workplace accountability across federal agencies.
