Extension of Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000

What this chapter is about
This part keeps an older law going. That law pays states and counties that hold federal land. This part moves its end dates later. It also sets rules for two years that had already gone by.

What the document says
“Section 101 of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 7111) is amended-- (A) in subsections (a) and (b), by striking ``2023'' each place it appears and inserting ``2026''”
The section amends section 101 of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 7111), striking the year 2023 in subsections (a) and (b) wherever it appears and inserting 2026. The heading the Act gives this subsection is secure payments for States and counties containing Federal land.
What the document actually says
“Section 101 of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 7111) is amended-- (A) in subsections (a) and (b), by striking ``2023'' each place it appears and inserting ``2026''”
That sentence, in plain words
The old year in this part of the law was 2023. The new year is 2026. It is changed in both places it shows up.
What this is about
A year in a law can work like a stop sign. When the year runs out, the payments stop. Moving the year keeps them going.

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.”
That sentence, in plain words
Some counties were already paid a share for that year. The state payment is made smaller. It drops by the amount already paid.
What this is about
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.

What the document says
“If an eligible county that will receive a county payment for fiscal year 2024 or 2025 has already received a 50-percent payment for that fiscal year, the amount of the county payment shall be reduced by the amount of the 50-percent payment.”
The second paragraph of the added subsection (e) reduces the county payment for fiscal year 2024 or 2025 by the amount of the 50-percent payment the county has already received for that year.
What the document actually says
“If an eligible county that will receive a county payment for fiscal year 2024 or 2025 has already received a 50-percent payment for that fiscal year, the amount of the county payment shall be reduced by the amount of the 50-percent payment.”
That sentence, in plain words
Some counties already got a 50-percent payment for that year. Their county payment is now smaller. It drops by the amount already paid.
What this is about
This works the same way as the rule just before it. Money already sent is taken off. It keeps a county from being paid 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.
The document says “shall”Who acts: Secretary of the TreasuryHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“Not later than 45 days after the date of enactment of this subsection, the Secretary of the Treasury shall make all payments under this title for each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025.”
The third paragraph of the added subsection (e) requires the Secretary of the Treasury to make all payments under title I of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 within 45 days of the date the subsection was enacted.
What the document actually says
“Not later than 45 days after the date of enactment of this subsection, the Secretary of the Treasury shall make all payments under this title for each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025.”
That sentence, in plain words
The Treasury gets 45 days. In that time it must send all the money for 2024 and 2025. The clock starts when this rule becomes law.
What this is about
The law was signed on December 18, 2025. The two years it names had already gone by. So it sets a short deadline to catch up.
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.

What the document says
“(16 U.S.C. 7113(d)(2)) is amended by striking ``2023'' and inserting ``2026''.”
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.
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.
The document says “shall not”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
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.

The section adds subparagraph (C) to section 102(b)(2) of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000, carrying a county's fiscal year 2023 election under paragraph (1)(A) forward so that it is effective for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
What the document actually says
“The election described in paragraph (1)(A) applicable to a county in fiscal year 2023 shall be effective for each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025.”
That sentence, in plain words
A county made a choice for 2023. That same choice counts for 2024. It counts for 2025 too.
What this is about
The choice is not made a second time. The old one is used again. No county has to go back and pick.
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.

What the document says
“The election made by an eligible county under subparagraph (B), (C), or (D) for fiscal year 2023, or deemed to be made by the county under paragraph (3)(B) for that fiscal year, shall be effective for each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025.”
The section adds subparagraph (G) to section 102(d)(1) of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000. The election a county made under subparagraph (B), (C), or (D) for fiscal year 2023, or was deemed to make under paragraph (3)(B), is effective for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
What the document actually says

That sentence, in plain words
A county picked one of three choices for 2023. Some counties were treated as having picked. Either way, that pick counts for 2024 and 2025.
What this is about
This is a different choice from the one before it. It sits in another part of the same old law. The rule works the same way.

The section adds subparagraph (E) to section 102(d)(3) of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000, stating that the paragraph does not apply for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
What the document actually says
“in paragraph (3), by adding at the end the following: ``(E) Payments for each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025.--This paragraph does not apply for each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025.''.”
That sentence, in plain words
A new line is added at the end of this part. It says the part is not used for 2024. It is not used for 2025 either.
What this is about
The Act names paragraph three of the old law. It turns that paragraph off for two years. It does not say what the paragraph holds.

What the document actually says
“(16 U.S.C. 7125(d)(6)(C)) 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 a waiver. The waiver has to do with how a committee is made up. Moving the year keeps it going.

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.

“Section 305 of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 7144) is amended-- (1) in subsection (a), by striking ``2025'' and inserting ``2028''; and (2) in subsection (b), by striking ``2026'' and inserting ``2029''.”
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.
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.
Each distinct change the section makes: the year moved in section 101, the special rule added for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 and its three parts, the year moved in section 103(d)(2), the four subparagraphs added to section 102, the year moved in section 205(d)(6)(C), and the dates moved in sections 208 and 305.
Purely mechanical amendments. Striking a year and inserting another is recorded only where it changes when somebody is paid or by when somebody must act.
The section works by amending the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000, which is not indexed here. A reader following a citation into that statute will find the older wording until this one is applied, and nothing here records what the rest of that statute says.
