The document says “may not be construed”Who acts: Department of Veterans AffairsHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize an increase in the number of full-time employees otherwise authorized for the Department.”
The staff and resources subsection is not to be read as authorizing more full time employees than the Department is otherwise authorized to have. The section does not say where the Office's staff are to come from.
What the document actually says
“Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize an increase in the number of full-time employees otherwise authorized for the Department.”
That sentence, in plain words
This part does not let the VA hire more people. The staff count stays where it was.
What this is about
The office must fit inside the count the VA already has. The law does not say which jobs move over.
