Increased Support for Local Governments from Federal Lands
This act aims to more accurately calculate and increase payments to local governments that have federal lands within their borders. This can lead to more funds for local services like firefighting, police, and schools, improving the quality of life for residents.
Key points
Development of a tool to accurately estimate the value of federal lands as if they were privately owned and taxable.
Conducting studies and issuing reports to show how much local governments should receive to compensate for untaxable federal lands.
Increasing transparency and access to information on how payments to local governments are calculated, allowing citizens to better understand the system.
