Federal land in Anchorage would go to Southcentral Foundation

The federal health secretary would transfer the property to Southcentral Foundation without requiring payment. The property includes about 3.4 acres and its improvements in Anchorage, for health and social services programs. The transfer would allow no property conditions or federal right to take the land back. The new deed would replace any quitclaim deed for this property signed by both the secretary and the foundation. The secretary would receive access reasonably needed to meet remaining obligations or liabilities. The transfer would happen as soon as practicable and no later than two years after enactment; the earlier deed would lose effect when the transfer takes effect.

Southcentral Foundation would be shielded from liability for contamination occurring on or before the property transfer. These rules apply only to this property transfer and cover contamination of soil, water, and other parts of the property. The federal health secretary would not be liable for contamination occurring after the foundation controlled, occupied, and used the property. The secretary would have to follow the referenced federal requirements for hazardous-substance notices and warranties.
