This bill would change one word in a current law to give more time for a land allotment program for Vietnam-era Alaska Native veterans. It replaces a "5-year period" with a "10-year period" in a specific statute. The bill was introduced by Senators Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski and was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
If you are a Vietnam-era Alaska Native who may be eligible for the Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Program, the time window to apply described in the statute would be 10 years instead of 5 years.
