The report may be folded into another report to the same committees
What the document says“Reports submitted pursuant to clause (i) may be submitted by incorporating their contents into other congressionally mandated reports to the committees described in such clause.”
The annual report need not stand alone. Its contents may instead be carried inside another report Congress has already required the Department to send to the same two committees.
What the document actually says“Reports submitted pursuant to clause (i) may be submitted by incorporating their contents into other congressionally mandated reports to the committees described in such clause.”
The VA does not have to send this report on its own. It can put the facts inside another report to the same groups.
Congress asks the VA for many reports. This lets the VA join them up. The facts still have to be in there.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
