Plain Language Summary

# Bill Summary: HR 4288 **What the Bill Does** HR 4288 is a straightforward naming bill that would officially rename the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) community-based outpatient clinic in San Jose, California to the "Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic." The clinic itself would continue operating as normal—this change is purely about what the facility is called. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill primarily honors Patrick D. Tillman, a former NFL player who became a U.S. Army Ranger.

Veterans and their families in the San Jose area who use this VA clinic would be the direct beneficiaries, as they would receive care at a facility bearing Tillman's name. The bill was introduced by Representative Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) in the 119th Congress. **Current Status** As of now, HR 4288 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. Naming bills like this are typically non-controversial and often pass with bipartisan support when they advance to a vote.
