Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Extend Resource Advisory Committee powers

If enacted, the bill would extend authorities for special projects on federal land and the use of county funds into later fiscal years. It would extend Resource Advisory Committee waiver and pilot authorities through fiscal year 2026 and correct a date reference to October 3, 2008. The changes would take effect upon enactment.

Extend Rural Schools payments to 2026

If enacted, States and eligible counties would keep getting Secure Rural Schools payments through fiscal year 2026. The bill would replace references to 2023 with 2026 in the payment base and distribution timetable. The change would take effect upon enactment.

County payment timing and rules

If enacted, the Treasury would have to pay all amounts under this title for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 within 45 days after the subsection takes effect. The bill would make a county's 2023 payment election effective for 2024 and 2025 and would suspend the normally required new-election rule for those years. It would also reduce FY2024 and FY2025 payments to counties and States by amounts already paid: a county's payment would be cut by any prior 50-percent partial payment, and a State payment would be cut by a county's share of a prior 25-percent payment that the State already received.
