United StatesBill would refer federal payment authority to each fiscal year
The bill would refer to each fiscal year in a federal payment rule that currently names fiscal year 2019 in the text being amended.
What it does
The bill would change the year named in the federal payment rule to “each fiscal year,” which could let the authority apply year after year.
Argument forLocal governments that receive these payments could have a steadier source of support if the authority applies each fiscal year.
Argument againstReferring to each fiscal year could reduce pressure to revisit the payment authority after a specific year, though the excerpt does not show how the program is reviewed.
More detail
The bill would replace “fiscal year 2019” with “each fiscal year” in section 6906. This wording applies to the section labeled “Payment in lieu of taxes.” The excerpt does not name payment recipients. The text names each fiscal year but gives no start date.
