The section amends section 305 of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 7144), striking 2025 in subsection (a) and inserting 2028, and striking 2026 in subsection (b) and inserting 2029.

That sentence, in plain words
One year moves from 2025 to 2028. The other moves from 2026 to 2029.
What this is about
The Act calls this part authority to expend county funds. To expend means to spend. Both years move three years later.
