This bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to change the map of Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs). Specifically, it requires that Otero County and Eddy County be added to VISN 17. The Secretary must redraw the VISN boundaries within 180 days after the bill becomes law. The bill was introduced in the House on March 10, 2025, by Representatives Gabe Vasquez and Gregory Murphy and was referred to the Subcommittee on Health.
If you live in Otero County or Eddy County, this bill would move your counties into VISN 17. That changes which VISN is formally responsible for those counties, according to the bill text. The bill does not describe any specific changes to services, facilities, or individual benefits.
