What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryArmy transfers Fort Bragg land to North Carolina
The Army would give 20 acres of land at Fort Bragg to North Carolina at no cost. The state would then build a veterans' state home on the property—a facility that provides housing and care for disabled veterans who can't support themselves. If the land stops being used for a veterans' home, it would go back to the Army.
How it affects you
Disabled veterans in North Carolina would gain access to a new state home facility for housing and care. The state covers all costs of the land transfer, so there's no direct federal expense beyond the land itself.
Read the official summary (Introduced in House, Aug 27, 2026)
This bill authorizes the Department of the Army to transfer, without compensation or other consideration, all right, title, and interest to a specified 20-acre parcel of land on Fort Bragg to the State of North Carolina for the purpose of constructing a state home under the jurisdiction of the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. (A state home is a home established by a state for veterans who are disabled by age, disease, or otherwise and are incapable of earning a living because of such disability. The term also includes a home that furnishes nursing home care for veterans.)
Specifically, the bill authorizes the conveyance of a 20-acre parcel of land situated on the Fort Bragg Training Area in Harnett County, North Carolina, that is commonly referred to as Parcel 3B.
The State of North Carolina must cover all costs to carry out the conveyance.
If the Department of the Army determines the property is not being used for activities related to a state home, all right, title, and interest in the property may revert to the United States.
