Veterans' Major Medical Facilities Construction Act of 2002

The Veterans' Major Medical Facilities Construction Act of 2002 authorizes the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to build, renovate, and lease specific medical facilities in California, Ohio, Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, and North Carolina. The bill also increases the budget threshold for what qualifies as a "major" construction project and directs the VA to prioritize safety and accessibility upgrades, such as earthquake protection, fire safety, and accommodations for people with disabilities. For veterans and their families, these measures are intended to modernize aging infrastructure and improve the quality and safety of healthcare delivery at VA clinics and hospitals.
