A bill to designate the community-based outpatient clinic of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Lubbock, Texas, as the “Lieutenant General Bernie Mittemeyer VA Clinic”.

S. 5334 would rename the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Lubbock, Texas, giving it the official designation "Lieutenant General Bernie Mittemeyer VA Clinic" (also referred to as the "Lieutenant General Bernie Mittemeyer Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic"). The bill also directs that any existing law, regulation, map, document, or other federal record referring to this clinic be treated as referring to it under the new name.

The bill primarily affects the VA clinic in Lubbock and the federal government's administrative references to it; it does not change the clinic's services, funding, or operations. Veterans and other patients who use the clinic would see no functional change beyond the new name appearing on signage, records, and related materials.

The bill was introduced in the Senate on August 6, 2026, by Senator John Cornyn of Texas, with Senator Ted Cruz as a cosponsor. It has been read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, where it would need to be considered before any further action, such as a committee vote or a vote by the full Senate.
