S. 5649 — Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Fulfillment Act of 2026

This section makes Federal land identified in the November 2020 Fish and Wildlife Service report immediately available for selection by eligible Alaska Native Vietnam-era veterans under the allotment program. It expands the definition of available Federal land to include vacant and unappropriated land within units of the National Forest System or National Wildlife Refuge System. It requires the Secretary of Agriculture, within 1 year of enactment, to identify suitable National Forest System land in Alaska for selection, excluding land that could interfere with unit management plans, lies within 300 feet of asserted navigable waters, is designated wilderness, or is identified as suitable timberland, and makes such land available.
