Summary

Veterans Medical Facilities Management Act of 2004 - Authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to enter into contracts for major medical facility leases at specified locations. Authorizes the Secretary to transfer real property to another department or agency of the United States, to a State, or to any public or private entity including Indian Tribes. Establishes the Department of Veterans Affairs Capital Asset Fund which may be used for costs associated with: (1) current or future real property transfers under this Act; (2) the improvement of patient care facilities for veterans; and (3) the transfer, lease, or adaptive use of properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Terminates the nursing home revolving fund. Sets forth procedures for the transfer of real property. Requires the Secretary to submit reports on historic properties to the Committees on Veterans' Affairs of the Senate and House of Representatives. Authorizes the use of certain construction and maintenance project funds for the construction or relocation of surface parking lots incidental to such projects. Removes the congressional review requirement otherwise applicable to the obligation of funds for major medical facilities where funds have been authorized by law. Specifies that the construction, alteration, repair, remodeling, or improvement of property under an enhanced-use lease is not subject to State or local land use laws unless otherwise provided by the Secretary. Amends the Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act to extend authority for the long-term care pilot programs established by that Act.
