What the document says

“Not later than 30 days after completing such review, the Comptroller General shall submit to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs a written report containing the results and findings of such review.”

To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Comptroller General of the United States to report on certain funding shortfalls in the Department of Veterans Affairs, Sec. 2

The report is written, and the 30 days run from completion of the review rather than from enactment. Subsection (b) applies this same reporting duty to the five later reviews.

What the document actually says

“Not later than 30 days after completing such review, the Comptroller General shall submit to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs a written report containing the results and findings of such review.”

To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Comptroller General of the United States to report on certain funding shortfalls in the Department of Veterans Affairs, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

The GAO must finish the review and write up what it found. It has 30 days after that to send the report to the head of the VA.

What this is about

The report goes to the VA first, not to Congress. A later part of this law sends it on.

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.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
