Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act of 2025

Bill 119 s 356, also known as the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000, is a piece of legislation that aims to extend the provisions of the original act. The Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act was initially passed in 2000 to provide financial assistance to rural counties that have a large amount of federal land within their borders.

The main purpose of the act is to help these counties offset the loss of revenue that occurs when federal lands are not subject to property taxes. This loss of revenue can have a significant impact on the ability of these counties to provide essential services to their residents, such as education, infrastructure, and public safety.

The act provides funding to these counties based on a formula that takes into account the amount of federal land within their borders. This funding is intended to help these counties maintain essential services and support local economies that may be dependent on federal lands. Bill 119 s 356 seeks to extend the provisions of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act in order to continue providing financial assistance to rural counties. By extending the act, Congress hopes to ensure that these counties can continue to provide essential services to their residents and support their local economies. Overall, Bill 119 s 356 is an important piece of legislation that aims to support rural counties that have a large amount of federal land within their borders. By extending the provisions of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act, Congress hopes to help these counties maintain essential services and support their local economies.
