1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Extension Act of 2025 .
2Extension of the Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Program
This section would replace the phrase '5-year period' with '10-year period' in section 1119(b)(3)(B) of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (43 U.S.C. 1629g-1(b)(3)(B)). Rendering what this period actually governs (for example, an application filing window, a review period, or an eligibility deadline within the Alaska Native Vietnam era veterans land allotment program) requires the text of that base statutory provision, which is not available here. Held rather than guessed to avoid misstating which deadline or window is being lengthened from 5 years to 10 years.
