This bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to redraw the boundaries of Veterans Integrated Service Networks to include Otero County and Eddy County in New Mexico within Veterans Integrated Service Network 17. The change must be completed within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The legislation affects rural veterans in these two New Mexico counties by shifting their healthcare administration to a different Veterans Integrated Service Network, potentially improving their access to VA health services. The bill does not specify any direct federal funding or establish new programs, but rather reorganizes existing VA service boundaries to better serve the veteran population in these rural areas.
