Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Extension Act
To extend the Alaska Native Vietnam era Veterans Land Allotment Program.
Summary
This bill would extend the Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Program by changing the program's time period from five years to ten years. The change modifies Section 1119(b)(3)(B) of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act. This would allow eligible Alaska Native veterans from the Vietnam era a longer window to obtain land allotments under the existing program.
