Georgetown VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic Authorization Act of 2026
Summary
What This Bill Does
The bill gives the Department of Veterans Affairs authority for a single major medical facility project: a new community-based outpatient clinic in Georgetown, Texas. The authorized project cost is capped at $96,448,066, and the same amount is authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 2027 or the year funds are provided through the VA Construction, Major Projects account.
Who Benefits and How
Central Texas veterans, Georgetown-area veterans, VA outpatient care programs, construction contractors, and local medical-service users benefit from a new authorized VA clinic that could improve local access to primary and outpatient care. The project would give VA a specific statutory authorization and funding ceiling rather than leaving the clinic to ordinary planning authority.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The VA Secretary must manage the major facility project, stay within the $96,448,066 ceiling, and use the Construction, Major Projects account if Congress appropriates funds. VA construction offices must plan, procure, and oversee the clinic. Congressional appropriators must still provide money before the authorization becomes spendable.
