Summary
This bill would require using the highest fair appraised value, including historical fair appraised values, when valuing property under the Thye-Blatnik Act. It replaces the current wording in Section 5 so the Secretary of Agriculture makes that determination under the section's procedures. The change specifically delegates the valuation method and final appraisal decision to the Secretary but does not specify a concrete calculation, effective date, or any fiscal details in the provided text.
