What the document says
“``(E) Payments for each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025.--The election otherwise required by subparagraph (A) shall not apply for each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025.''”
The section adds subparagraph (E) to section 102(b)(1) of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 7112). The added subparagraph provides that the election otherwise required by subparagraph (A) does not apply for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
What the document actually says
“``(E) Payments for each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025.--The election otherwise required by subparagraph (A) shall not apply for each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025.''”
That sentence, in plain words
The law usually asks for a choice to be made. For 2024 and 2025 it is not asked for.
What this is about
An election here means a choice, not a vote. Both of those years had gone by when the law passed. So the choice is skipped.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
