What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act of 2025'', seeks to extend the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000. It adjusts various dates within the original Act to extend payment periods and authorities through 2026, 2028, or 2029 depending on the specific provision. The legislation establishes special rules for fiscal year 2024 and 2025 payments to ensure consistency for states and counties. Additionally, it extends the authority to conduct special projects on federal land and the authority to expend county funds. Finally, the bill includes provisions for the Resource Advisory Committee pilot program and various technical corrections.
