To amend title 38, United States Code, to reorganize the acquisition structure of the Department of Veterans Affairs and to establish the Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation in the Department, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 6833 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 6833 would reorganize how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) handles purchasing and acquiring goods and services. It would also create a new position called the Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation within the VA. While the bill's full details aren't specified in the available information, these changes are intended to improve how the VA manages its resources and spending. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect the Veterans Affairs Department and its operations.

Indirectly, it could impact veterans who receive VA services, as changes to how the department acquires goods and services could influence service delivery and efficiency. Federal employees working in VA acquisition roles might also be affected by the reorganization. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Tom Barrett (R-MI) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. No further action has been taken at this time.
