Bill > S116

This bill proposes to rename the Department of Veterans Affairs medical center located at 4500 South Lancaster Road in Dallas, Texas, as the "Eddie Bernice Johnson VA Medical Center" in recognition of her significant contributions to veterans. The bill highlights Congresswoman Johnson's extensive service, including her 16 years working as the Chief Psychiatric Nurse at the medical center and her 30-year congressional career during which she championed veterans' causes. Specifically, the bill notes her introduction of the Dr. James Allen Veteran Vision Equity Act of 2007, which aimed to improve treatment and dignity for wounded service members. The legislation will officially change all future references to this medical center in law, regulation, maps, documents, and other records to reflect her name, honoring her as a trailblazer who worked tirelessly on behalf of veterans and earned respect from her native city of Dallas, the state of Texas, and the United States Congress.
