U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Amarillo) unveiled a new piece of legislation on Tuesday aimed at modernizing Department of Veterans Affairs infrastructure.

Jackson’s bill would extend the CHIP IN Act (Communities Helping Invest through Property and Improvements Needed for Veterans) pilot program to allow the VA to accept donations from non-federal entities to support major construction projects. The act, which was originally passed in 2016, created a pilot program that encouraged public-private partnerships for such construction projects.

Under Jackson’s legislation, the program would be extended for five years with the requirement that the VA submit a report to Congress to “ensure oversight and transparency of the program.”

In a statement, Jackson said the legislation would allow work on VA facilities completed under former President Donald Trump to be continued.

“I believe it is our duty in Congress to provide those who have served our nation with the highest level of care, and anything less is a dishonor to their sacrifice,” Jackson said. “As a veteran myself, I know how outdated some VA facilities are and the negative impact that can have. It can take decades for the federal government to fund major construction projects like a new VA facility, and veterans’ care suffers over time as a result. It is an important priority for me to make sure veterans are taken care of and that they receive the same quality of care in modern facilities as we see in the private sector. Approval of the VA was at an all-time high under President Trump, and my legislation will allow us to continue his great work.”
