Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Extension Act of 2025

This bill, the Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Extension Act of 2025, would extend the time allowed under the Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment program. Specifically, it changes the deadline from a 5-year period to a 10-year period for actions related to the allotment process, by amending Section 1119(b)(3)(B) of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (43 U.S.C. 1629g-1(b)(3)(B)). The change is narrowly focused on extending the window for eligible Alaska Native Vietnam era veterans to participate in the program; it does not alter eligibility criteria, the amount of land, or funding levels. The bill has passed the House and is under consideration in the Senate, where it was referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
