New Mexico Rural Veteran Health Care Access Act

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to redraw healthcare network boundaries within 180 days of enactment, adding Otero and Eddy Counties in New Mexico to Veterans Integrated Service Network 17. It directly affects veterans residing in these two counties by expanding their access to VA healthcare services previously unavailable through this network. The key mechanism is a mandatory boundary adjustment to include these counties in an existing VA healthcare service network, streamlining access to care. This change makes no other policy modifications and focuses solely on geographic reassignment for service delivery.
