Bill > S785

This bill extends the Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Program by modifying a previous law passed in the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act. Specifically, the bill changes the time frame for land allotments from a 5-year period to a 10-year period, which will give Alaska Native Vietnam veterans additional time to apply for land allotments. The land allotment program is designed to provide eligible Alaska Native veterans who served during the Vietnam era with the opportunity to receive land grants, recognizing their military service and supporting their connection to ancestral lands. By extending the program's duration, the bill aims to ensure that more veterans have the chance to benefit from this land allocation initiative, potentially addressing previous barriers or delays that may have prevented some veterans from accessing their allotments.
