Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium Land Transfer Act

Bill 117 hr 442, also known as the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium Land Transfer Act, is a piece of legislation that was introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to authorize the transfer of certain federal land in Alaska to the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) for the construction of a new health care facility.

The bill also includes provisions to ensure that the land transfer is carried out in a manner that protects the environment and respects the rights of the Native American and Alaska Native communities in the region. Overall, the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium Land Transfer Act aims to improve access to quality health care services in Southeast Alaska by facilitating the construction of a new health care facility on federal land.
