House passes resolution supporting Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center planning (H.J.R. 13)
Summary
Lawmakers passed a resolution commending Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center, noting its regional role serving veterans and urging continued planning and completion; the measure passed the House with a large majority.
The House adopted H.J.R. 13 on Feb. 1, a simple resolution commending Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center and urging Congress to support planning and completion of the regional veteran medical facility. A floor sponsor described the center as serving nearly a million veterans across a 12-state region and said Utah is one of the states involved.
Sponsor statements noted funding approval at the federal level and some state-level support from Colorado; the resolution expresses the legislature’s support without creating budgetary obligations for Utah. The House recorded the vote as 66 yes and 2 no and referred the resolution for further consideration as appropriate.
