To name the Department of Veterans Affairs women's health clinic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as the Anna Mae Robertson VA Well Woman Clinic.

Summary

HB3820 is a naming bill that would designate the Department of Veterans Affairs women’s health clinic at the Clement J. Zablocki Veterans’ Administration Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as the “Anna Mae Robertson VA Well Woman Clinic.” The measure applies specifically to the clinic identified in the bill as the Red Team clinic and does not create a new program, expand eligibility, or alter veterans’ health benefits. The bill also provides that any reference in federal law, regulation, map, document, record, or other paper to the women’s health clinic should be treated as a reference to the newly named Anna Mae Robertson VA Well Woman Clinic. In practical terms, it is a commemorative and administrative renaming measure intended to honor Anna Mae Robertson while preserving continuity in official references to the facility.

Impact

The bill would amend the official designation of one VA women’s health clinic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and would require federal references to that clinic to reflect the new name after enactment. It would not change the underlying authority, services, funding structure, or eligibility rules for the clinic, but it would affect federal records, signage, and any legal or administrative documents that refer to the facility.

Sentiment

The available context suggests broad, noncontroversial support for the bill. It was introduced by a Wisconsin Democrat with bipartisan cosponsors from both parties, which is typical of commemorative naming legislation. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs and then to the Subcommittee on Health, and there is no recorded vote or committee transcript indicating opposition or debate.

Contention

There is no evident substantive contention in the available materials. Because the bill only renames an existing VA clinic, any discussion would likely be limited to whether Anna Mae Robertson is an appropriate honoree and whether the naming should proceed through federal legislation rather than administrative action. No opposing arguments, amendments, or recorded objections are provided in the bill history.
