Latest action on H.R. 5362: Passed/agreed to in House: On motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: (2/3 required): 418 - 0 (Roll no. 248).

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects veterans, staff, and local residents who use or refer to the Marietta VA clinic. The change is about the clinic’s name, not its medical care.

Why this matters: The bill matters because it changes how a local VA clinic is identified in public and official records. It uses the clinic’s name to honor Colonel Boyce’s service and his work for veterans in Cobb County. The practical effect appears limited to recognition and record updates. The bill does not say it will change care, benefits, staffing, or funding.
