What the document says“Beginning on January 1, 2026, the amounts collected from a renewable energy project as bonus bids, rentals, fees, or other payments under a right-of-way, permit, lease, or other authorization shall--”
The section provides that from January 1, 2026, amounts collected from a renewable energy project as bonus bids, rentals, fees or other payments under a right-of-way, permit, lease or other authorization go into the general fund of the Treasury, and, without further appropriation or fiscal year limitation, 25 percent is paid to the State where the revenue arises and 25 percent to the counties in that State, split among them by the share of county land the revenue comes from.
What the document actually says“Beginning on January 1, 2026, the amounts collected from a renewable energy project as bonus bids, rentals, fees, or other payments under a right-of-way, permit, lease, or other authorization shall--”

All of it first goes into the Treasury. The state then gets a quarter of it. The counties share another quarter between them.
