The U.S. House of Representatives considers H.R.410, the Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Extension Act of 2025, on July 14, 2025.

H.R.410 extends the Alaska Native Vietnam-Era Veterans Land Allotment Program for another five years to ensure the Bureau of Land Management can reach out to Alaska Native veterans who are entitled to land selections.

Following consideration, the House approved H.R.410 under a suspension of the rules.

The bill would still need to be approved by the U.S. Senate before it can be signed into law.
