## Summary

**A dedicated 10% transfer of public land revenues to Social Security.** The bill requires that each fiscal year 10 percent of amounts collected by the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture from covered public lands in the preceding fiscal year be deposited into the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Trust Fund. It also clarifies that agencies may not raise prices for revenue-generating activities and that existing payments to states, Indian Tribes, territories, and local governments remain unaffected. - Seniors and Social Security beneficiaries: Sends a steady revenue stream to the Old-Age and Survivors Trust Fund by directing 10% of eligible public-land receipts each year. - Public land users and industries: Bars the Interior and Agriculture departments from using this law to raise fees or prices on activities that generate revenue. - State, tribal, territorial, and local governments: Keeps current shares of public-land revenue intact so their distributions are not reduced. - Scope for agencies and lands: Applies to land managed by the Department of the Interior, including submerged Outer Continental Shelf lands, and to Forest Service lands.
