To require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to waive certain domestic content procurement preferences with respect to certain State home projects, and for other purposes.
The WAIVER Act requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to waive "Buy American" domestic content requirements for certain state veterans home construction projects. Specifically, the waiver applies to state home facility projects that submitted their construction grant applications on or before April 15, 2022, and were included on the VA State Home Construction Grants Priority List for Fiscal Year 2023. This legislation affects states that are building or expanding facilities to house and care for veterans. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond the application deadline criteria already established. The waiver provision allows these specific state projects to proceed with more flexibility in their procurement of materials and equipment without being restricted to domestically-produced goods.
