What does this do?
This bill allows the Secretary of the Army to transfer about 20 acres at Fort Bragg, known as Parcel 3B, to North Carolina's state government at no cost. The state's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs would use the land to build a "State home" providing housing, nursing care, or other services for veterans. If the land is ever used for another purpose, ownership could revert to the federal government.
Who does it affect?
North Carolina veterans who might live in or use the future State home, North Carolina's state government, and the U.S. Army, which currently controls the land.
Why does it matter?
The bill transfers land only; North Carolina would be responsible for funding, building, and running the veterans' home itself.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- State pays transfer-related costs
- Covers surveying, environmental checks
- Overpayments get refunded
