Core Policy Mechanism Top 1

Fort Bragg Land Transfer for Veterans Home

Authorizes a free transfer of about 20 acres of Fort Bragg land to North Carolina for building a state veterans' home. The federal government can reclaim the land if it stops being used for that purpose.

• Population Scope Low Directly affects North Carolina veterans eligible for a single state veterans' home — a narrow subset of one state's population.
• Budgetary Magnitude Low No federal funds are authorized or appropriated; the land transfers without consideration, and the State bears all administrative and due-diligence costs.
• Legal / Regulatory Depth Low Creates a discrete, one-time conveyance authority for a specific parcel — a narrow administrative transaction rather than a new substantive mandate, prohibition, or enforceable entitlement.
• Degree of Discretion Granted Medium The conveyance is permissive ('may convey'), and the Secretary of the Army retains broad discretion to impose additional terms, determine survey adequacy, and exercise the reversionary interest.
• Implementation & Enforcement Burden Low Compliance is self-enforcing through the reversionary interest; no new enforcement infrastructure, penalties, or recurring adjudication is required.
• Temporal Commitment High Once conveyed, the land-use condition and reversionary interest bind future actors indefinitely, persisting until Congress acts or the Secretary exercises reversion.
