To amend title 38, United States Code, to establish the Office of Congressional and Legislative Affairs in the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes.
Summary
H.R. 7950 proposes to amend federal law governing the Department of Veterans Affairs by creating a new Office of Congressional and Legislative Affairs. This office would serve as a dedicated point of contact between the VA and Congress, handling legislative matters and communications with lawmakers.
If enacted, this bill would formalize the VA's interactions with Congress through a dedicated office structure. The practical impact on everyday citizens would likely be indirect—the office would primarily facilitate how the VA communicates with Congress about veterans' programs and policies rather than directly changing benefits or services. The bill is currently under committee consideration following subcommittee hearings held in late March 2026.
