To name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Lubbock, Texas, as the "General Bernie Mittemeyer VA Clinic".

# HR 255 Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill would officially rename a Veterans Affairs (VA) outpatient clinic in Lubbock, Texas after General Bernie Mittemeyer. The clinic provides medical services to veterans in the Lubbock area. Renaming the facility is a way to honor Mittemeyer's military service and legacy. **Who It Affects** The change would primarily affect veterans who use the Lubbock VA clinic and the local community.

It's a ceremonial action rather than one that changes how the clinic operates or the services it provides. The bill recognizes Mittemeyer's contributions to the military. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Jodey Arrington (R-TX) and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't been voted on by the full House yet. Bills of this type—naming or renaming federal buildings and facilities to honor individuals—are relatively routine in Congress, though they still must go through the standard legislative process.
