AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar officials at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Office of Personnel Management, or any other agency from proposing or carrying out a downgrade of VA law enforcement positions. It would also bar the use of federal funds for such downgrades. Any downgrade of these positions made between October 1, 2025, and the date the bill becomes law would be canceled, and the positions would return to their earlier status. Employees in those positions would receive all pay they would otherwise have been owed. A downgrade includes any classification review or action that may lead to a loss of grade or pay.
