HR 3620 United States House · 119th Congress

Southcentral Foundation Land Transfer Act of 2025

This bill requires the federal government to transfer approximately 3.372 acres of land in Anchorage, Alaska (Lot 1A, Block 36 East Addition) to the Southcentral Foundation (SCF) for use in health and social services. The transfer must occur within two years of the bill's enactment via a warranty deed, with no cost or conditions imposed on SCF, and the land cannot revert to the government. Crucially, SCF will not be liable for environmental contamination on the property that existed before the transfer, though the Secretary of Health and Human Services remains responsible for any contamination occurring after SCF takes possession. The bill also supersedes any prior quitclaim deed related to this land.
