Read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
This bill designates the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Lafayette, Louisiana, as the "Rodney C. Hamilton Sr. VA Clinic." The designation honors Rodney Carroll Hamilton Sr., a Korean War Marine Corps veteran who was wounded in combat and awarded the Purple Heart, and who played a leading role in securing and building the Lafayette VA clinic, which opened in 2016. Hamilton was also an active member of veteran service organizations and served on the Lafayette City Government as a Trustee of Public Property from 1968 to 1972. The bill, introduced by Senators Cassidy and Kennedy on January 27, 2026, does not involve any funding or timeline requirements—it simply renames the existing clinic in recognition of Hamilton's contributions to his community and the veteran community before his death in November 2020.
