Referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
This bill requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to submit an annual report to House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committees detailing compensation paid to Department police officers.
Reports must be disaggregated by VA facility and specified police and security positions and include salaries, availability pay, recruitment/retention bonuses, and other compensation.
The bill adds a new section to chapter 9 of title 38 and mandates the first report within six months of enactment.
Content is narrow and technocratic which helps prospects, but many modest administrative bills still stall for procedural or scheduling reasons.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well‑scoped reporting requirement that clearly assigns responsibility, timing, recipients, and specific report elements, and it integrates cleanly into title 38.

Likely supportive as a transparency and accountability measure for public-sector safety personnel.
Would view reporting as a first step toward addressing pay equity and resource gaps across VA facilities.
Likely views the bill as a modest, pragmatic oversight tool with limited cost and measurable outputs.
Sees it as a reasonable data-first approach before any legislative pay changes.
May be cautiously supportive of transparency but wary about federal reporting mandates and any operational security implications.
Some conservatives might see it as acceptable oversight if costs and sensitivities are controlled.
