- Restore the full county payment
Would amend the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 to restore the full 75-percent payment to counties from the Oregon and California land-grant fund.
The practical difference would be the share of the fund paid to counties. Restoring the full payment could affect county revenue and leave a different amount available for other purposes.
