Pursuant to clause (3)(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the following is the cost estimate for H.R. 785, as amended, provided by the Congressional Budget Office pursuant to section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974:
H.R. 785 would modify the membership of the Geriatrics and Gerontology Advisory Committee in the Department of Veterans Affairs by requiring that the committee include at least one person with experience serving veterans in a state veterans' home and at least one person who holds a professional license in nursing home administration. That modification of membership requirements would not change the number of members or alter the duties of the advisory committee. Thus, CBO estimates that implementing the additional membership qualifications in the bill would not affect the federal budget. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Noah Callahan. The estimate was reviewed by Christina Hawley Anthony, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
Phillip L. Swagel, Director, Congressional Budget Office.
