Southcentral Foundation Land Transfer Act of 2025

# Southcentral Foundation Land Transfer Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would transfer federal land in Alaska to the Southcentral Foundation, a nonprofit organization. The legislation addresses land that may be contaminated with hazardous wastes or toxic substances. By transferring the land, the federal government would essentially hand over ownership and responsibility for the property to the foundation, which would then manage it going forward. **Who It Affects** The bill directly affects the Southcentral Foundation and the Alaska communities it serves.

Southcentral Foundation is a healthcare and social services organization that operates in the Anchorage area and serves Alaska Native populations. The land transfer could impact local development, environmental cleanup efforts, and the foundation's ability to expand its operations or facilities. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and is currently in committee, meaning it's under review but has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. No major actions have been taken since its introduction in the 119th Congress.
