Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Rural schools funding extended and sped up

The law keeps Secure Rural Schools payments going through FY2026. It also keeps key project and county fund authorities in place through 2028–2029, and keeps Resource Advisory Committees operating through 2026. For FY2024 and FY2025, counties keep the election they made for FY2023, and no new election is needed. Treasury must send all FY2024 and FY2025 payments within 45 days of enactment.

2024–2025 county payments offset by advances

For FY2024 and FY2025, later payments are reduced if money already went out. A county’s payment is cut by any 50% payment it already received for that year. A State’s payment is cut by any county’s share of a 25% distribution that went to the State before this law.
