The "VA Care and Benefits Accountability Act" seeks to safeguard collective bargaining rights for employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Its primary objectives are to affirm existing labor agreements and to nullify specific Executive Orders that could negatively impact these labor-management relations. Specifically, the bill mandates that any collective bargaining agreement between the Department of Veterans Affairs and a labor organization that was in effect on March 26, 2025 , shall retain its full force and effect throughout its stated term. This provision ensures the stability and continuity of current agreements for VA employees. Moreover, the legislation explicitly nullifies Executive Order 14251 and Executive Order 14343 , both of which concern exclusions from Federal labor-management relations programs. It further prohibits the obligation or expenditure of any federal funds to implement these Executive Orders with respect to the Department of Veterans Affairs, thereby reinforcing protections for VA collective bargaining.
