H.R. 6015: VA Care and Benefits Accountability Act

The VA Care and Benefits Accountability Act, designated as H.R. 6015, seeks to address matters related to labor relations within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The bill includes several key provisions:

Affirmation of Collective Bargaining Agreements

The bill affirms that any collective bargaining agreement in effect as of March 26, 2025, between the Department of Veterans Affairs and any labor organization that serves as an exclusive representative of federal employees will remain valid. This means that the terms of these agreements will remain in force for the duration of their stated period, ensuring that employees maintain their negotiated rights and benefits.

Nullification of Specific Executive Orders

The bill also seeks to nullify two specific Executive Orders:

Executive Order 14251, which relates to exclusions from federal labor-management relations programs.
Executive Order 14343, which provides for further exclusions from the federal labor-management relations program.

The nullification of these Executive Orders means that they will no longer be effective, and federal funds cannot be used to enforce provisions established by these Orders regarding the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Impact on Federal Labor Relations

By enacting this bill, the intention is to reinforce the existing collective bargaining framework within the VA, which could impact the rights of federal employees represented by labor unions. It also signifies a shift in policy by invalidating previous administrative decisions that limited the scope of labor relations within the agency.

The bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives and is currently under consideration by both the Committee on Veterans' Affairs and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
