Restore VA Accountability Act of 2025

HR 472, the Restore VA Accountability Act of 2025, creates new disciplinary procedures for VA supervisors and management officials. It requires the VA Secretary to consider specific factors like the seriousness of misconduct and the employee's role when deciding on removal, demotion, or suspension, and limits the entire disciplinary process to 15 business days. The bill prevents courts from reviewing penalty amounts but allows review of whether procedures were followed correctly. It also strengthens whistleblower protections by requiring Special Counsel approval before disciplining employees who report misconduct, affecting VA supervisors and management officials but excluding senior executives and political appointees.
