Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
More time for projects on federal land
If enacted, counties and partners could keep using SRS rules to run special projects on federal land longer. Project authorities would run through 2028 for some parts and 2029 for others. Authority to spend county funds under related rules would also run through 2028 and 2029, respectively.
Rural advisory committees extended to 2026
If enacted, Resource Advisory Committee flexibilities and the pilot program would continue through 2026. The bill would also remove one paragraph in the pilot rules, changing committee requirements.
Rural schools payments extended and faster
If enacted, rural counties and States could keep getting Secure Rural Schools payments through 2026. For 2024 and 2025, the Treasury would need to send those payments within 45 days after this becomes law. Counties that chose how to take payments in 2023 would keep those same choices for 2024 and 2025, so they would not need to re‑elect. Some election rules would not apply during those two years.
Offsets to 2024–2025 State and county payments
If enacted, SRS payments for 2024 and 2025 would be adjusted to avoid double paying. County payments would be cut by the exact amount of any 50% advance they already received for that year. State payments would be reduced by any county share of a 25% payment that was, or will be, sent to the State before enactment. These are one‑time offsets tied to earlier distributions.
