What this amendment would do

This amendment was put forward by Mr. Merkley and Mr. Wyden. If we want to keep our elected officials accountable, it is important to look at how money from public resources and funds is handled. Here is what this amendment aims to change or add to the bill:

Timber Sale Money: It adds rules for how money made from certain timber sale contracts must be shared or distributed based on older, established laws like the Forest Reserve Revenue Act of 1908 and specific acts from 1937 and 1939.
Strategic Petroleum Reserve Funding: It changes the funding instructions for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve by setting aside a specific amount of $217,000,000 for the maintenance, repairs, and storage facilities related to the reserve through September 30, 2029.
