Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act of 2023

This bill extends the Secure Rural Schools program, which provides payments to counties and states with federal land, through 2026. It also adjusts related deadlines for special projects on federal land and county fund expenditures, pushing them to 2028 and 2029 respectively. Additionally, the bill adds a pilot program allowing regional foresters to appoint resource advisory committee members, set to end on October 1, 2028. These changes maintain funding stability and administrative flexibility for rural communities dependent on federal land management.
