Northern Marianas VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic Authorization Act of 2026

Key claim: HR9652 would authorize a Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in the Northern Mariana Islands.

Abstract

(HR9652 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-13): Referred to the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.

Why this matters

For veterans living in the Northern Mariana Islands, a locally authorized VA CBOC would provide a VA-direct outpatient care option rather than requiring long-distance travel or reliance on community care referrals to non-VA providers. The bill is an incremental geographic expansion of existing VA outpatient capacity into a U.S. territory currently lacking a dedicated VA clinic, and its practical impact depends on subsequent appropriations and VA siting decisions.
