Department of Veterans Affairs Therapeutic Medical Physicist Pay Cap Relief Act

This bill amends title 38 of the United States Code to establish specific requirements for the appointment, qualifications, grade, personnel administration, and pay of therapeutic medical physicists within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Sec. 2, Treatment of therapeutic medical physicists: This section makes several changes to existing law. It adds "therapeutic medical physicists" to the list of positions the VA Secretary can appoint. It sets qualifications requiring a person to have completed a post-graduate clinical training program in therapeutic medical physics satisfactory to the Secretary and be board certified in that field by a Secretary-approved body. It adds "therapeutic medical physicist" to the grade structure alongside podiatrists. It includes therapeutic medical physicists in personnel administration provisions. It amends pay provisions to include therapeutic medical physicists alongside physicians, podiatrists, and dentists in various sections, including base pay and administrative matters, and updates the subchapter heading and table of sections accordingly. Finally, it requires the VA Secretary to submit a report to Congress within one year on the effects of pay increases for these physicists, including impacts on full-time employees, those providing care under agreement, and any cost changes.
