HR 6599 United States House · 119th Congress

Leasing and Infrastructure Act of 2025

This bill establishes a new process for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to lease major medical facilities without requiring General Services Administration (GSA) approval. It creates a Veterans Leasing Fund to finance these leases and sets requirements for cost estimation, lease terms (maximum 20 years), and reporting to Congress. The bill mandates detailed cost estimates including construction, land, and material costs, with notifications to Congress if costs exceed approved estimates by more than 10%. It sets a one-year target for awarding leases and requires annual reports on procurement progress. The goal is to streamline the VA's process for building and leasing medical facilities for veterans.
