Department of Veterans Affairs Minor Construction Threshold Adjustment Act of 2023
This bill raises the funding threshold for minor construction projects at VA medical facilities from $20 million to $30 million. It requires the VA Secretary to adjust this amount every two years based on inflation, construction costs, and other economic factors, using either existing or new calculation methods. Projects under $30 million will now qualify as "minor" construction, streamlining approval processes without changing the actual construction work. The adjustment mechanism ensures the threshold remains aligned with current construction market conditions.
