# Plain Language Summary: Pfc. Justin T. Paton VA Clinic Designation

This bill is straightforward—it's simply renaming a Veterans Affairs clinic in Indian River, Michigan. Right now, the clinic at 5739 Highway M-68 is just called the Indian River VA clinic. After this bill passes, it will officially be called the "Pfc. Justin T. Paton Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic" in honor of Private First Class Justin T. Paton.

For veterans who use this clinic, nothing will actually change about the services they receive or how the clinic operates. It's purely a name change. The clinic will still provide the same medical care and services to veterans in that area—this just gives it an official name that honors someone significant. All government documents, records, and references to this clinic will be updated to use the new name.

This type of bill is common in Congress. It's a way to honor military members and veterans by naming federal facilities after them. In this case, all of Michigan's representatives in the House supported the bill, suggesting there's broad agreement that Pfc. Paton deserves this recognition. The bill has no budget impact and doesn't change any laws or regulations—it's purely administrative.

To designate the clinic of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Indian River, Michigan, as the "Pfc. Justin T. Paton Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic".
