This bill gives Alaska Native Vietnam-era veterans and their heirs more time to apply for federal land in Alaska. The program lets eligible veterans choose up to 160 acres if they served in Vietnam between August 5, 1964, and December 31, 1971, or if they are heirs of such veterans. It extends the current application window so people can keep applying until December 29, 2030, instead of the previous deadline of December 29, 2025. In law, it changes the window from a 5-year period to a 10-year period.
