It provides that the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC) may exercise the management, administrative, and fund expenditure authorities available to other U.S. courts as defined in 28 U.S.C. S: 451. In exercising this authority, the CAVC's Board of Judges passed a resolution authorizing the Court to utilize the authority found in Public Law No. 105-277, October 21, 1998, as amended (found at 5 U.S.C. prec. S: 5941 note), to reimburse eligible employees for one-half the cost of professional liability insurance. Since the change in the law adding 38 U.S.C. S: 7287 was not explicitly made retroactive, it does not apply to professional liability insurance payments made prior to the effective date of the legislation, December 27, 2001. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-300866/html/GAOREPORTS-B-300866.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-300866/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-300866.pdf GAO/B-300866 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-300866 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-300866; U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims: Retroactive Reimbursement of Professional Liability Insurance Costs, B-300866, May 30, 2003; Volume 110 Page 3009 Volume 110 Page 3009-363 110 Stat. 3009 110 Stat. 3009-363 Volume 112 Page 2681-526 112 Stat. 2681-526 Volume 113 Page 430 113 Stat. 430 Volume 115 Page 976 115 Stat. 976 Public Law 104-208 Public Law 105-277 Public Law 106-58 Public Law 107-103
