The U.S. House of Representatives considers H.R.3620, the Southcentral Foundation Land Transfer Act of 2025, on December 15, 2025.

The bill transfers about 3.5 acres in Alaska to the Southcentral Foundation, which provides health care to Native people in and around Anchorage, the state’s most populous region. The land will be used to develop a new health facility.

“This bill transfers land already in use and allows Southcentral Foundation to make long-term investments in modern infrastructure,” said Rep. Nick Begich (R-Alaska), the sponsor of H.R.3620.

“The bill supports tribal self-determination, strengthens care delivery and empowers a trusted partner to do even more for our communities,” said Begich.

A hearing on the bill took place before the House Subcommittee on Indian and Insular Affairs on June 11, 2025. Leanndra Ross, the vice president of Executive and Tribal Services at Southcentral Foundation, testified in support.

The House Committee on Natural Resources approved the bill at a markup on July 23, 2025.

Following consideration, the House passed H.R.3620 under a suspension of the rules.
