This bill gives Alaska Native Vietnam‑era veterans, and their heirs, more time to apply for a land allotment in Alaska. The program lets eligible veterans or their families request up to 160 acres of federal land if the veteran served between August 5, 1964, and December 31, 1971. The application deadline moves from December 29, 2025, to December 29, 2030, adding five more years to apply. It does this by extending the program’s time window from five years to ten years.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Alaska Native veterans who served during the Vietnam era, and their heirs.
• What changes: More time to apply for up to 160 acres of federal land.
• When: New application deadline is December 29, 2030.
