A bill to rename the medical center of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Dallas, Texas, as the "Eddie Bernice Johnson VA Medical Center".
This bill (S 116) renames the Dallas, Texas, Department of Veterans Affairs medical center as the "Eddie Bernice Johnson VA Medical Center." It directly affects the facility at 4500 South Lancaster Road, Dallas, by changing its official name to honor Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson. The bill is procedural - requiring all federal references to the facility to update to the new name - but contains no new policy or funding changes. It serves as a ceremonial recognition of Representative Johnson's service to veterans, based on findings in the bill's text.
