To name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Toms River, New Jersey, the Leonard G. 'Bud' Lomell, VA Clinic, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 2170 **What the Bill Does** This bill officially names the Veterans Affairs (VA) community clinic in Toms River, New Jersey after Leonard G. "Bud" Lomell. Community-based outpatient clinics are smaller VA facilities that provide healthcare services to veterans in their local areas. The bill is purely a naming designation—it doesn't create new services or change how the clinic operates. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill primarily honors Lomell, recognizing his service and contributions to veterans. Veterans in the Toms River area will now receive care at a facility bearing his name.

The change is largely symbolic and ceremonial in nature, similar to other bills that name government buildings or facilities after notable individuals. **Current Status** The bill has already been signed into law, meaning it is official and the VA clinic in Toms River now carries Leonard G. "Bud" Lomell's name. The bill was sponsored by Representative Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ) and passed during the 119th Congress.
