The section amends section 103(d)(2) of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 7113(d)(2)), striking 2023 and inserting 2026. The heading the Act gives this paragraph is distribution of payments to eligible counties.
What the document actually says
“(16 U.S.C. 7113(d)(2)) is amended by striking ``2023'' and inserting ``2026''.”
That sentence, in plain words
The old year in this line was 2023. The new year is 2026.
What this is about
The Act says this line is about handing payments to counties. Moving the year keeps the line in use for three more years.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
