S. 2431 would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to develop a training program for employees on reporting wrongdoing to the department's Office of the Inspector General (OIG). The bill would also require the OIG to transmit information on its roles and responsibilities to department employees twice per year.
VA trains employees on reporting wrongdoing to the OIG. Because VA is already completing most of the bill's requirements, any incremental costs to implement the bill would be insignificant. Those costs would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
