The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has provided a cost estimate for H.R. 3726, the Fisher House Availability Act of 2026. This act aims to expand lodging facilities for veterans, and the CBO estimates its cost at $2 million. The estimate was ordered reported by the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs on February 12, 2026, and the CBO's cost estimate was published on March 23, 2026.

While this document is a cost estimate and not a direct regulatory mandate, it signifies legislative action that will likely result in new obligations for the Department of Veterans Affairs and potentially impact the operations of Fisher House facilities. Compliance officers should monitor the legislative process for the final enactment of this bill and any subsequent guidance or directives issued by the VA regarding its implementation. No immediate compliance actions are required based solely on this cost estimate, but awareness of the potential legislative changes is prudent.
