What this bill does
H.R. 10159 would authorize the Secretary of the Army to transfer, without payment, approximately 20 acres of land at Fort Bragg in Harnett County, North Carolina—known as Parcel 3B—to the State of North Carolina. The exact size and legal boundaries of the parcel would be set by a survey acceptable to the Secretary. The land is intended for the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to build a veterans' State home. North Carolina would be required to cover or reimburse the Army's costs related to the transfer, including environmental and real estate reviews, with any excess funds collected refunded. The Army could impose additional conditions to protect federal interests, and could reclaim the property if it is not used for veterans' State home purposes.
The bill primarily affects the U.S. Army, the State of North Carolina, and North Carolina veterans who might use the planned State home. It does not create the home itself but removes a legal barrier to transferring the land needed for its construction.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) on August 27, 2026, and passed the House by voice vote on September 14, 2026, under a procedure used for noncontroversial measures. It now goes to the Senate for consideration; no further House action is required unless the Senate amends it.
