§7113 Transition Payments to States

Title 16 › CHAPTER 90 — SECURE RURAL SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY SELF-DETERMINATION › SUBCHAPTER I — SECURE PAYMENTS FOR STATES AND COUNTIES CONTAINING FEDERAL LAND › § 7113

Last updated Sep 23, 2026|Official source

Summary

Treasury must pay special transition amounts to eight states and their eligible counties for fiscal years 2008 through 2010. The covered states are California, Louisiana, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington. The payment called the "adjusted amount" equals a percentage of what the eligible counties got in fiscal year 2006 under earlier payment rules (including Oregon’s county payments). The percentage is 90% for 2008, 81% for 2009, and 73% for 2010. The money should be split among counties in the same shares they had in fiscal year 2006. California’s transition payments and certain later California shares (for fiscal years 2011–2015 and 2017–2026) must also be distributed using the same 2006 county proportions. These transition payments count as the regular chapter payments they replace.
