## Summary

**Same-call appointment scheduling** would require that when an enrolled veteran calls to request an appointment the VA schedules that appointment during the call. The bill would also require public facility fact sheets and tighter limits on temporary moves of medical center directors and would sunset after three years. - Veterans and families: Enrolled veterans who request appointments by phone would have that appointment scheduled during the call for requests made 180 days after enactment. Quarterly reporting would publish average wait times. - VA leaders and staffing: Proposed details of medical center directors would trigger a 90-day notice to the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs Committees. The Secretary would need to appoint an acting director within 120 days. - Public and Congress: Each medical center would publish annual and quarterly fact sheets online and display them at the facility. Annual sheets would list treatment statistics, common conditions, satisfaction scores, and remediation items while quarterly sheets would include average wait time.

- Three-year sunset on VA requirements: cost, medium. If enacted, the bill would terminate the requirements it creates three years after enactment.
