What it does
This bill renames a Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic in Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, after Lieutenant Colonel David C. Canegata III. The clinic will be officially known by his name going forward, and all federal references to it will use the new designation. No funding, operations, or eligibility changes are made.
Why we flagged it
The bill's sole function is to rename an existing VA facility after a deceased military officer. It contains no operational, budgetary, or policy changes—purely a naming designation.
Who it affects
The bill honors a military officer through facility naming—a low-cost commemorative act that does not restrict veterans' access, reduce services, or impose costs. Veterans retain full access to the clinic under its new name.
Named in the bill
Department of Veterans Affairs, Saint Croix, United States Virgin Islands, Lieutenant Colonel David C. Canegata III, Ms. Plaskett
