The Department of Veterans Affairs Major Medical Facility Lease Authorization Act of 2013 ( H.R. 3521) or ACRONYM, is/was a bill/law introduced/passed to the 113th United States Congress
Background

Congressional Budget Office report
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Budget Office, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs on November 20, 2013. This is a public domain source. [1]
H.R. 3521 would authorize the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to enter into leases to obtain the use of major medical facilities at 27 specified locations. [1] Based on the VA’s long-established practice, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) expects that the department would implement that authorization by awarding contracts for the construction and long-term use of those facilities without recording the full amount of the government’s commitment as an obligation of its appropriated funds. Thus, H.R. 3521 would effectively be providing budget authority for an amount of obligations that exceeds what we expect VA initially would charge against its appropriation. By CBO’s estimate, that additional budget authority would amount to $1.4 billion. [1]
Procedural history
The Department of Veterans Affairs Major Medical Facility Lease Authorization Act of 2013 was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on November 18, 2013 by Rep. Jeff Miller (R, FL-1). It was referred to the United States House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. The Committe held a Consideration and Mark-up session on November 20, 2013 and then voted the bill to be reported by voice vote. On December 6, 2013, Majority Leader Eric Cantor's office announced that H.R. 3521 would be considered under a suspension of the rules durring the week of December 9, 2013. [2] [3]
