Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to set up and carry out a department-wide policy for managing software, including cloud services and software subscriptions. The policy would include keeping a full inventory of software, comparing it against purchase and billing records to find waste or unused licenses, and enforcing license terms. Employees who buy or manage software would get yearly training, and the policy would be reviewed at least every three years. The work would use existing staff and funds, the VA would report yearly cost savings to Congress, and the Government Accountability Office would evaluate the policy within three years. The requirements would end five years after the bill becomes law.
