To amend title 38, United States Code, to clarify and expand the authority of the Assistant Secretary for Management of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes.

H.R. 7683 would amend federal law governing the Department of Veterans Affairs by clarifying and expanding the powers of the Assistant Secretary for Management. This position oversees administrative and operational functions within the VA, including budget management, human resources, facilities, and internal processes. The bill would strengthen this official's authority to manage these internal VA operations more effectively. If enacted, the changes could streamline how the VA handles its administrative responsibilities, potentially affecting how the department allocates resources and manages its workforce. The bill is currently under committee consideration following subcommittee hearings held in March 2026 and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
