Bill Summary: HR 3672 (118th Congress)
Title: To designate the clinic of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Indian River, Michigan, as the “Pfc. Justin T. Paton Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic.”
Overview: HR 3672 is a legislative measure that officially designates the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) clinic located in Indian River, Michigan, as the “Pfc. Justin T. Paton Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic.” This designation honors Pfc. Justin T. Paton, a U.S. Army soldier who served in the Vietnam War and was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action.
Funding/Authorities: The bill does not allocate new funding or create new authorities. Instead, it utilizes existing resources and funding mechanisms of the Department of Veterans Affairs to maintain and operate the clinic under its new designation.
Programs or Agencies Affected: The primary agency affected by this bill is the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the facility in Indian River. The designation may enhance the visibility and recognition of the clinic, potentially impacting the services provided to veterans in the area.
Beneficiaries: The primary beneficiaries of this bill are the veterans who receive care at the Indian River clinic. By naming the facility after Pfc. Paton, the bill aims to foster a sense of pride and community recognition for veterans and their families. It serves as a tribute to the sacrifices made by service members, thereby potentially improving morale and community engagement.
Key Timelines: The bill was introduced and subsequently passed through the legislative process, culminating in its enactment as Public Law No: 118-12. The designation took effect immediately upon becoming law, thereby allowing the clinic to be officially recognized as the “Pfc. Justin T. Paton Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic” without delay.
In summary, HR 3672 serves to honor a fallen soldier while reinforcing the commitment of the VA to provide care for veterans in Michigan.
