  SEC. 3. BUDGETARY TREATMENT OF DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS MAJOR 
                MEDICAL FACILITIES LEASES.
  
      (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
              (1) Title 31, United States Code, requires the Department 
          of Veterans Affairs to record the full cost of its contractual 
          obligation against funds available at the time a contract is 
          executed.
              (2) Office of Management and Budget Circular A-11 provides 
          guidance to agencies in meeting the statutory requirements 
          under title 31, United States Code, with respect to leases.
              (3) For operating leases, Office of Management and Budget 
          Circular A-11 requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to 
          record up-front budget authority in an ``amount equal to total 
          payments under the full term of the lease or [an] amount 
          sufficient to cover first year lease payments plus cancellation 
          costs''.
      (b) Requirement for Obligation of Full Cost.--Subject to the 
  availability of appropriations provided in advance, in exercising the 
  authority of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to enter into leases 
  provided in this Act, the Secretary shall record, pursuant to section 
  1501 of title 31, United States Code, as the full cost of the 
  contractual obligation at the time a contract is executed either--
              (1) an amount equal to total payments under the full term 
          of the lease; or
              (2) if the lease specifies payments to be made in the event 
          the lease is terminated before its full term, an amount 
          sufficient to cover the first year lease payments plus the 
          specified cancellation costs.
      (c) Transparency.--
              (1) Compliance.--Subsection (b) of section 8104 of title 
          38, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the 
          following new paragraph:
              ``(7) In the case of a prospectus proposing funding for a 
          major medical facility lease, a detailed analysis of how the 
          lease is expected to comply with Office of Management and 
          Budget Circular A-11 and section 1341 of title 31 (commonly 
          referred to as the `Anti-Deficiency Act'). Any such analysis 
          shall include--
                      ``(A) an analysis of the classification of the 
                  lease as a `lease-purchase', `capital lease', or 
                  `operating lease' as those terms are defined in Office 
                  of Management and Budget Circular A-11;
                      ``(B) an analysis of the obligation of budgetary 
                  resources associated with the lease; and
                      ``(C) an analysis of the methodology used in 
                  determining the asset cost, fair market value, and 
                  cancellation costs of the lease.''.
              (2) Submittal to congress.--Such section 8104 is further 
          amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
      ``(h)(1) Not less than 30 days before entering into a major medical 
  facility lease, the Secretary shall submit to the Committees on 
  Veterans' Affairs of the Senate and the House of Representatives--
              ``(A) notice of the Secretary's intention to enter into the 
          lease;
              ``(B) a copy of the proposed lease;
              ``(C) a description and analysis of any differences between 
          the prospectus submitted pursuant to subsection (b) and the 
          proposed lease; and
              ``(D) a scoring analysis demonstrating that the proposed 
          lease fully complies with Office of Management and Budget 
          Circular A-11.
      ``(2) Each committee described in paragraph (1) shall ensure that 
  any information submitted to the committee under such paragraph is 
  treated by the committee with the same level of confidentiality as is 
  required by law of the Secretary and subject to the same statutory 
  penalties for unauthorized disclosure or use as the Secretary.
      ``(3) Not more than 30 days after entering into a major medical 
  facility lease, the Secretary shall submit to each committee described 
  in paragraph (1) a report on any material differences between the lease 
  that was entered into and the proposed lease described under such 
  paragraph, including how the lease that was entered into changes the 
  previously submitted scoring analysis described in subparagraph (D) of 
  such paragraph.''.
      (d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section, or the 
  amendments made by this section, shall be construed to in any way 
  relieve the Department of Veterans Affairs from any statutory or 
  regulatory obligations or requirements existing prior to the enactment 
  of this section and such amendments.
