Dunleavy said many veterans or their heirs would be able to receive land that’s closer to their homes than they would receive under a federal program.

It took until late in the Trump administration to write the rules to put the program into effect. The Biden administration recently delayed a Trump administration order to increase the land eligible to become allotments under the program.
