Final Approval

This bill proposes to rename the community-based outpatient clinic of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Saint Croix, United States Virgin Islands, to honor Lieutenant Colonel David C. Canegata III. The new name would be the "Lieutenant Colonel David C. Canegata III Department of Veterans Affairs Community-Based Outpatient Clinic." This recognition is intended to honor Lieutenant Colonel Canegata's service and contributions.

This bill would primarily affect veterans and staff in the Saint Croix area who use the clinic for medical services. The renaming is a tribute to Lieutenant Colonel Canegata, and it doesn't change any services provided or the operations of the clinic.

Currently, the bill has been introduced and referred to the Subcommittee on Health. It was introduced on July 22, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. The next step involves further review and potential hearings within the subcommittee.
