To extend the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

One year moves from 2025 to 2028. A second year moves from 2026 to 2029.

What this is about

Each year is three years later than before. The Act calls this part special projects on federal land. Moving both years keeps that work going.

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.
