H.R. 2020, the New Mexico Rural Veteran Health Care Access Act, directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to redraw service network boundaries to include Otero County and Eddy County in Veterans Integrated Service Network 17. This change would give veterans in these two rural New Mexico counties access to VA health care services within a specific regional network. The Secretary must complete the boundary redrawing within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The bill affects rural veterans in the designated counties by potentially improving their access to Veterans Affairs medical services. No specific funding is authorized in the legislation; it simply reallocates existing VA service network responsibilities.
