A state payment for 2024 or 2025 is cut by the 25-percent payment already made
What the document says“If an eligible county in a State that will receive a share of the State payment for fiscal year 2024 or 2025 has already received, or will receive, a share of the 25-percent payment for that fiscal year distributed to the State before the date of enactment of this subsection, the amount of the State payment shall be reduced by the amount of the share of the eligible county of the 25-percent payment.”
The section adds a new subsection (e) to section 101 of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000. Its first paragraph reduces the State payment for fiscal year 2024 or 2025 by the share of the 25-percent payment an eligible county has already received or will receive for that year, where that share was distributed to the State before this subsection was enacted.
What the document actually says“If an eligible county in a State that will receive a share of the State payment for fiscal year 2024 or 2025 has already received, or will receive, a share of the 25-percent payment for that fiscal year distributed to the State before the date of enactment of this subsection, the amount of the State payment shall be reduced by the amount of the share of the eligible county of the 25-percent payment.”
Some counties were already paid a share for that year. The state payment is made smaller. It drops by the amount already paid.
This rule looks at money that has already gone out. It takes that money off the new payment. So one year is not paid for twice.
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.
