The bill amends the population tiers for local government payment limitations, expanding eligibility and increasing payment amounts for lower population units.

  • 31 U.S.C. § 6903(c)(1)

    4,999 → 999

    The maximum population threshold for a unit of general local government to receive certain payments is raised from 4,999 to 999.

  • 31 U.S.C. § 6903(c)(2)

    5,000 → 1,000

    The population starting point for determining payment limitations is lowered from 5,000 to 1,000.

  • 31 U.S.C. § 6903(c)(2)

    the limitation is equal to the population times— → the limitation is equal to the population times—

    The structure defining payment limitations is updated to reflect new population tiers and their corresponding financial values.

  • 31 U.S.C. § 6903(c)(2)

    the following amount (rounding the population off to the nearest thousand): → the following amounts (no rounding):

    The approach to calculating limitations now explicitly uses exact population figures instead of rounding.

  • 31 U.S.C. § 6903(c)(2)

    If the population equals— → If population equals—

    The wording is slightly altered to clarify the conditions under which different payment amounts apply.

  • 31 U.S.C. § 6903(c)(2)

    and thereafter, for each acre of entitlement land located in the unit (but not more than the limitation determined under subsection (c) of this section). → for each acre of entitlement land located in the unit (but not more than the limitation determined under subsection (c) of this section).

    Payments will be based on new financial tiers corresponding to updated population limits.

  • 31 U.S.C. § 6903(c)(2)

    the limitation is equal to the population times— 5,000 $110.00 → the limitation is equal to the population times— 1,000 $254.40

    The payment amount for the smallest population tier increases significantly, enhancing funding for local governments with fewer residents.
